CAVA Stock Forecast & Price Target
CAVA Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cava Group Inc. is projected to experience a restaurant-level margin increase to 25% in 2027, reflecting ongoing operational efficiency improvements and strong market performance. The company's average unit volume has notably risen to approximately $3 million in 2025, driven by strategic innovations and successful market execution, indicating robust revenue potential. Additionally, digital sales are estimated to reach around $440 million in 2025, representing a significant portion of total sales and highlighting Cava's effective engagement in the growing online consumer market.
Bears say
Cava Group Inc. has reported an EBITDA of $40.0 million, consistent with previous estimates, but factors such as lower same-store sales, reduced restaurant-level margins, and increased pre-opening costs indicate underlying operational challenges. The company has adjusted its 2026 same-store sales growth forecast down to 2.5%, reflecting ongoing headwinds, particularly among Gen Z consumers, coupled with an anticipated decline in restaurant-level margins due to rising commodity costs and labor investments. Additionally, a significant drop in stock price by 40% over the past year highlights the market's response to weak business performance, including a slowdown in revenue growth and unfavorable operating expenses, further supporting a negative outlook on Cava Group's stock.
