Was upgraded today. Any consumer weakness is already baked into the stock. They reported last August 27% revenue growth, down only 1% from the previous quarter, and same-store sales growth of 18.2%. Their average unit (location) volume rose, too, and their profit margin rose 26.1%. Offered a full-year forecast that was mixed with same-store sales growth of 13-15% and profit margins of 23%, slower than the first half of this year. But EBITDA was encouraging. Maybe they're lowballing investors. They report next Tuesday. But don't anything until the lock-up period on insider selling expires in 6 weeks.
Nothing wrong with it, just profit taking now which is happening some high-flying stocks. The reason is insider selling, which makes him nervous though.
Is up 167% this year, though -15% the past month. Let it come in a little more--wait until January. Buy some, then let it come in further, then buy more. CAVA is very volatile.
It reports Tuesday and he expects another strong quarter. However, Wall Street has turned against momentum stocks, so it won't matter how good business is.
