Jim Cramer - Mad Money CAVA Group CAVA-N COMMENT Feb 21, 2025

 Cava reported a great quarter. Net sales at Cava jumped 35% and same-store sales were 14% vs. expected 7%.

A regional success story and great company, but it just hit its all-time high today. Wait. 58% this month is too toppy.

They have one the great, new concepts in this market.

Likes it, but shares are near highs, so wait for a 10% drop.

Is up 242% this year.  Same-store sales rose 18% vs. the expected 12%.

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.

He's long liked this. Rallied 7.4% today after recent profit-taking, but this was merely taking a breather after running too hot.

A great regional to national growth story. Up 340% over the last 2 years, though is -30% this year. He doubled-down in mid-March. They keep delivering strong numbers, growing its US store base, and revamping its loyalty program. Yesterday, they reported that business is difficult, though he thought the quarter was great: 10.8% same-store sales growth, missing the 11% estimate, revenue up 28% YOY, though EPS strongly beat. They raised their adjusted EBITDA and maintained same-store sales growth. Is a long-term play. Now is a buying opportunity. Caveat: it trades at a high multiple, so it will get hurt if there's another risk-off market. As long as their expansion continues, there's room to run.
