Cava’s Fast-Casual Glow-Up Just Hit Reality. Now What?
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Cava stock has crashed from a $153+ high to the $40s–50s, even as revenue grew 20% year over year in Q3 2025.
- The business is adding restaurants fast with 24%+ store-level margins, but same-store sales growth slowed to 1.9% and traffic is roughly flat.
- Cava is prioritizing disciplined expansion and strong unit economics over aggressive discounting, betting the Mediterranean bowl trend still has a long runway.
