CAVA Stock Forecast & Price Target
CAVA Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cava Group Inc demonstrates strong financial health with impressive two-year same-store sales (SSS) growth trends of approximately 20%, significantly outperforming industry averages. The company forecasts a full-year SSS growth of 4-6% and has ambitious plans to expand to over 1,000 stores by the end of 2032, indicating robust demand for its Mediterranean fast-casual concept. Moreover, the best-in-class new unit returns and the favorable average unit volumes exceeding $3 million for new stores suggest a strong market position and potential for premium valuation in the future.
Bears say
Cava Group Inc. has demonstrated a weaker-than-expected performance, with same-store sales (SSS) growth of only 2.1% in 2Q25, significantly underperforming consensus expectations of 6.3% and likely disappointing buy-side forecasts. The company has revised its FY2026 estimated SSS growth down to a range of +3.0% to +4.0%, indicating potential stagnation or decline in the fourth quarter of 2025, as prior estimates anticipated higher growth. Additionally, while the company reported strong profitability with restaurant margins exceeding forecasts, underlying challenges such as lower same-store sales and increased pre-opening costs contribute to a cautious outlook for future performance.
