Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava stock soars as much as 112% in market debut

Yeah, but public companies that are restaurants have much lower P.E ratios. Its P.E. ratio is 75 and about 3x higher than the upper limit for the rest of the competitor landscape. Institutions that make moves in this sector will dump CAVA hard.
And whats the chances CAVA gets 25% revenue growth for a decade? Thats my point. It is obvious a high risk stock at these valuations. To make it worth it the potential gain better be spectacular
Yes it is mathing No one is buying CAVA today to get mediocre returns. At these prices we are looking for 3x at the bare minimum in 10 years
CAVA needs to grow 25% for at least a decade to justify its current price.
Yup. I don’t know a single person who didn’t grow up eating tacos! Taco Tuesday is in the vernacular. Falafel…Friday? I dunno. Also we might already be at peak bowl saturation. There are so many other bowl places all competing for marketshare. What’s the difference between a sweetgreen and a cava at some point? What if Sweetgreen came up with a really successful and delicious Mediterranean bowl option…that’s all it would take to kill CAVA.
CAVA earning are going to be juicy Af
> I went to Cava for the first time as a try the food before I buy the stock and everything was like $20 or close to it You were probably doing double protein or something. I eat at CAVA a lot and never break $20 for a meal, and sometimes pay for a friend and it's generally $30-something for both of us
I think it was based on sentiment alone. Stock soared last 2 years . Last earnings report was outstanding. Here’s the thing though , while the have a 73 PE they are profitable which is rare for a fairly new expanding business. I bought this in the low 30s while I was reading “ One up on Wall Street “ where Lynch laughed at himself for missing Taco Bell and owning McDonalds instead . The same thing happened to SHAK which bottomed out on Trumps Independence Day..Of course we can’t be sure of the future but both stocks have the same theme .green and growing. SHAK has totally recovered, CAVA has not…yet.
I have been a Buyer of CAVA under $50 and Holder at $170 AND I AM NOT LEAVING. 1200 shares $52 Avg. This will be a Mega Franchisee in the next decade.
Chipotle has come pretty close to CAVA P/E in the past. I like Cava here at a high multiple much better than chipotle at a slightly lower multiple. Much much easier to see Cava successfully grow 25% per year than to bet the same for chipotle at this scale.
CAVA will most likely have a blowout Q2. Stock’s well positioned to go up 30-40%. When reporting Q1, they were very pessimistic about the US economy overall and stock dropped. The economy has been holding up much better than Cava expected, so expect a nice jump.
I am bag holding CAVA at $124.39….
Mezah is wayyyy worse than CAVA. We have both in our area and they’ve been shutting down the Mezah stores due to CAVA being everyone’s go to. Can’t comment on the other ones, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
CAVA is not the new chipotle. The fast casual ‘lunch bowl’ market is the next micro-brewery market. It has become oversaturated and middle class consumer spending is slowing. I work a half mile from the original CAVA and have never been once when there’s better lunch options like Moby Dick/ Mezah/ Naz’s Halaal. Don’t get me started on ‘And Shawarma’ 🤤🤤🤤 My next chipotle stock is Potbelly since it’s also in plans to expand from 400 to 2000 shops nationwide and their ‘Potbwlly Perks’ rewards and mobile app is better than what Chipotle offers
**Seems like you’re really bullish on CAVA With that many locations and how packed they are it’s definitely appealing Buying calls sounds like a smart move just gotta hold and wait for it to take off long-term**
Chipotle needs to seriously turn around the hate they’re receiving or CAVA is gonna gobble up their market share. Smaller portions & triple the price = everyone I know including myself went from going frequently to every once in a while
I'm slowly loading up on CAVA, hope it does something!
In the last few years: CAVA with a basis under 40$ META with a basis under 110$ RKLB with a basis under 10$.
How is monday potentially looking? CAVA is recovering, SPY going up, but still don't know what to think of this bull and what it's gonna do for the market
i saw someone putting in 26K into a 1DTE frekin CAVA $82 yesterday just because "yeah i think it will turn around" for a fucking RESTAURANT company with a market cap of 10B and a p/e of 60+ AND TODAY HIS CALLS ARE UP 250% LIKE WHAT THE FUCK
Probably some Gen Z CAVA and IPAs only diet.
CAVA is literally a vertical line yall
Divorced self from CMG couple weeks back (with nominal net gain, to include what money would make in savings) But still hold its cousin CAVA. For now, not optimistic. LOL, GLP-1 users are gonna slowly destroy restaurants. P.s. f' HIMS...NVO saw how unscrupulous they are and dumped them. CAVA needs fatties
>I don't see it. Mediterranean food has it's place but it isn't what aMericans crave. they'll have a small percentage of the population on board, the rest want their Chipotle & Chick Fil A. I'm not sure if you're being glib, but these are both companies that only in the last 15 years have rapidly become the darlings of American quick service. 20 years ago chipotle style burritos were not found outside of California and college towns, and if you told someone that Americans would be preferring chicken over beef you'd be laughed at. Why wouldn't CAVA be the next?
How is CAVA looking long term, down 19% holding and looking to recover so i can get out and reinvest else where. Earnings screwed me over
You're right, short CAVA. Long on Brawndo, it's got what Americans crave.
My wife is obsessed with CAVA. The food and stock. She wants me to keep buying. I’m hesitant on its potential but if it’s the next chipotle I’d be mad. So I keep sprinkling in it here and there
If I sell I’m going all in on CAVA
Move is to pray that CAVA recovers so I can gtfo and that world war 3 doesn’t cook the market
Move is to hold my CAVA that is down 21% and im down $1000 on in hopes that it can recover sooner then later so I can gtfo and invest in actual shit I'm confident in rather then playing earnings and getting screwed like the regard i am
I also have CAVA stock. They have 400+ stores now and a target of 1000 by 2032. My big concern is if Mediterranean food has the same mass appeal as Mexican (Chipotle)
Crazy how nobody here answered your question. Forward PE is the current stock price divided by the estimated EPS estimated in 12 months. Estimated EPS for CAVA is about half of current EPS, which is why the forward PE is about double.
Does anyone think the loose Chipotle/ CMG facsimile Cava/ CAVA is going down the same floundering path?
$CAVA and $LULU both oversold <30 on 1 YEAR RSI
I actually sold my CLBR to buy CAVA
anyone down 20% on CAVA, holding at the dip but praying august earnings bounces t back up to 100 because last earnings screwed me over
All I need is CAVA back at $100 🙏
CAVA still being sub-100 is wild. I don't get it.
CAVA is always busy by me, Wendy’s not so much. I added around 300 additional shares back at the 84 and will join you on your quest.
might grab a couple long calls on CAVA
Why should Sweetgreen be worth two CAVAs? CAVA is already overvalued but at least had some semblance of hype
CAVA is a buy here.
CAVA literally the richest they've ever been, mass profits and growth. Still miss earnings by 5 million. Outrageous projections
CAVA has bottomed 
BYDDY - European market has highest EV adoption rates by % of car sales and BYD is currently buying up manufacturing sold off by European OEMs who are suffering. Not sure how much Teslas brand has been tarnished there vs here but I don’t think it’ll matter. HSAI - biggest LIDAR player in Asia COST Recession resistant. Never not seen it crowded. Awesome business model. SHOP One of the best bets on I cone inequality I think one can make. If merchandise is not your core product but it’s something a company does on the side, which is tons of businesses large and small, SHOP is the go to. CAVA - large CAPEX spending over the last few years due to the Zoe’s kitchen acquisition has pushed down a lot of key metrics which you are now seeing recover rapidly (ROIC, EBITDA). I see no reason why this growth would be a one time thing as they’re still expanding. I also see a trend toward healthier options in general.
I guess CAVA is fucking ass now.

If you're bullish on CAVA and considering a LEAPS-based approach, take a look at the January 2027 expiration cycle. I’d target a long call with roughly a 0.80 delta — that’ll serve as your synthetic stock. From there, you can build a Poor Man’s Covered Call around it. With implied volatility sitting in the 50s, there’s solid premium to collect even selling calls out around the 0.20 delta. That gives you room for upside while generating meaningful income. Personally, I prefer to start with 18–24 months of time on the LEAPS and look to roll or close the position once there's about 10–12 months remaining until expiration. If the trade setup still makes sense, I’ll simply re-establish with a new LEAPS out another 18–24 months. PMCCs keeps capital use efficient while giving the position time to work — and allow you to bring in some decent premium for income or to lower the cost basis of your LEAPS position. I wrote this report a little while back, and a few readers mentioned it was helpful. I'm not trying to sell anything here — just sharing a free article that I hope adds value to anyone curious about the strategy. If it helps even one or two of you, it’s worth it.

Thinking about a $100C exp 1/16/26 to give it more time to rebound. CAVA doesn’t get a lot of noise, so going shorter feels risky. Although, there’s a $90C exp 7/18 going for cheap that looks interesting, but worry theta could eat into it fast if it doesn’t reach breakeven soon enough. I’m still new to this—got a bit ahead recently trading 0dte SPX calls and figured it might be smart to shift strategies while I’m ahead. Looking to use LEAPS more as a stock replacement strategy to stay long but limit risk. If anything here doesn’t make sense or I’m off base, feel free to humble me. Really appreciate any advice!
CAVA looking extremely low, is it a buy?
For me, I've been eating CAVA pretty regularly lately. I still won't buy the stock since this isn't my field of expertise, but I've started to see the appeal.
Best plays to buy and Hold $VG USA working with EU again, Russia "Crazy" according to mango, all bullish signs for LNG Export $RDDT Undervalued and crushed last earnings, its a wound spring bro $CAVA Growing YOY better then most restaurants in the biz only 385 stores "The Next Chipotle" Current SP on all of these are in the "BUYZONE"
Healthy is in and CAVA is a hell of a lot better than chipotle
Cool that CAVA decides to shit the bed shortly after I bought in 
Cramer talked up CAVA last week, it's down 7% today alone 
CAVA you piece of sh\*it! 
CAVA, why you do this to me?
$SG getting fucked for what? It’s better than CAVA ever will be lol
CAVA just selling off all day. Very cool and very legal.
What are people's views on CAVA's stock? There is none nearby so I've never tried it.
CAVA over 100 next week 
That would be funny. They could just have stuff like HIMS, CAVA, TSLA, CHWY, GME, AMC, and MSTR
CAVA next leg down pls
CAVA looks like the only restaurant that's performing well Everyone else sucked
But i do see CAVA gng to 120+ soon. Maybe the day after your calls expire 🤣
Have 5/16 $94put for CAVA can someone tell me how are they looking?
RIP to both CAVA and DOCS. But I stand with you, having been anal probed by GLOB.
CAVA calls as mushy as the food they serve
Why did CAVA dump on earnings beat? Lol
Crazy my CAVA puts didn’t fill because I didn’t want to pay $.05 but worked out for me in the end 😂
CAVA calls after earnings dump?
CAVA massively beats and is down wtfff
The real problem is people who say this don't know anything. Look up a five year chart on Deere Co, BTI, Home Depot, or even CAVA? There are multiple different sectors outside of big tech that have had incredible five year runs. You just didn't know about them because all you do is blindly buy market weighted indices, or swing trade trendy tickers.
WRONG DIP CAVA 
Pulled out from CAVA 
What's CAVA doing? Earnings leaked?
Very conflicted on how to play CAVA. On one hand I know if they are anywhere near their insane revenue estimate that they'll beat eps by 30%+. On the other hand they are disgustingly overvalued so anything less than exponential growth may be seen as garbo. On the other hand I know I will lose money regardless so my analysis is useless. Puts it is.
CAVA calls. You are very welcome friends.
CAVA calls 
CAVA what's the implied volatility?
CAVA expected to crush earnings but it's also an overvalued restaurant stock. Flip your coin.
CAVA, AMAT, DOCS to the moon
Im gambling with CAVA puts. If their Q1 is anywhere near as dookie at their Q4 was last year i will make moneys 
True. Also I buy CAVA at a Discount so I'm a little biased. Hope the puts work out short term, I dca every payday so long term I feel pretty good
