Shares of United Natural Food Inc. (NASDAQ:UNFI), the leader in healthy foods distribution to North American supermarkets, declined during the third quarter due to a contract loss representing 5% of sales that occurred after a change in ownership with a specific customer. We view United Natural’s leading scale, national coverage and high service levels as key competitive advantages. It has a strong supply chain infrastructure in the industry, and we think it is well positioned for share gains over the next several years. (Matthew Weiss)
