Whole Foods flops

Whole Foods Market, the largest natural-foods store in the US, fell 6.3 percent in after-hours trading yesterday after lowering its sales forecast for fiscal 2013.

The shares slid $6.08 to $90.82. Sales may increase as much as 11 percent in fiscal 2013, compared with a previous estimate for growth of as much as 12 percent, the Austin, Texas, company said yesterday.
