Too late for $CAVA calls? When does Shawarma Law go into effect?
Agree - CAVA will be growing 20-25% annually for the foreseeable future. People just can’t see the forest from the trees.
This was back in 2024. I was in for the run up from $50 all the way up to their Q3 earnings report when it dropped. CAVA management team is A+, stores operate higher margins and store openings were gonna happen. It's a bag now. Will be a long long long long time if I ever see this above $100 in my life time.
I've got a beautiful bag collection ... SPCX at 217, CAVA at 170, GOOG at 340. and META at 780.
No I just prefer the safety of cash settled options. Almost got butt graped a while back on CAVA calls I sold to open and didn’t want any more pin risk scenarios for a bit
NO FUCKING WAY I was actually right about CAVA
this entire "fancy" F&B sector is wrecked (CAVA/jmke/celh,etc.) and has been for a while. I'd hold onto the shares if youre willing to wait though but those calls were more than likely going to wreck you due to IV. $BROS is known to fluctuate with a $2-3 range for months if you look at historical chart data so i would roll those or get rid of them which i guess you did
I’m so done with this BS tech, CAVA is my move at this point lol
The first year after my dad died, I sold the stuff he had and started fresh. Bought a lot of TSM and did great the first year, but this year has been scarier. I am worried about being too tech/AI heavy. I don’t do options (yet), but I am trying so hard to keep up on the pulse of things and be smart to preserve and build this nest egg (but I guess we all do that, so I am not exactly special…I Just would feel sick seeing his hard-earned wealth evaporate bc I didn’t do my absolute best. After all, this was supposed to be HIS retirement money for him to live comfortably and joyfully, not my personal gambling fund. Days like today having me taking it a lot more seriously than I did when he first died, because back then I was so deep in grief and overwhelm that I didn’t have TIME to worry about what TSM did or why I had “conviction,” I just listened to some dude I used to date in New York City’s advice to buy it and it worked out well. (That said, same guy also recommended MELI, CAVA and BROS, lol). I’m just worried it’s going to get bad, and I’m not prepared. Maybe this is the wrong forum for this comment, but I’m posting it here because it’s on my mind now.
I'd prefer the diarrhea we get from CAVA
Look at CAVA really good resistance while market pushes down. Think it’s due for a bounce. NFA
Maybe they can do a collab with CAVA and BROS
yeah CAVA is worse tbh. it costs more. it's just as basic, they have expanded too quickly, and have other competition like NAYA that is cheaper.
In $DUK, $CAVA, $PFE, LEAPS rn. The rest is scalps and add shares on dips. Not a lot of dips be happening so not a lot additional long shares. Got some (4) RDDT January expiry 150 calls will cut loose at break even if lucky.
Lwhat happened to $CAVA? It pumped up to $99 in April, but been falling 10% every month since; now at $50.
CAVA is such fucking trash. The stock and the restaurant. $20+ for a slop bowl 😂😂😂
I bought $CAVA yesterday and of course it drops over 5% today lmao

Haven’t taken an L this bad since the CAVA short squeeze and I was positioned short
$CAVA is oversold. Adding shares and LEAPS (if liquid) tomorrow.
Eh it's more of a CAVA & Kratom era
what is "cava style" did you get this at CAVA?
CAVA figured out how to make edible food premarket
A 132 P/E isn’t automatically “bad.” It means investors are paying $132 for each dollar of current annual earnings, so a lot of future growth is already assumed. CAVA does have real growth behind it. In its verified Q1 filing, revenue rose 32.2%, same-store sales grew 9.7%, guest traffic increased 6.8%, and the restaurant count grew about 20% year over year. The catch is that earnings need to compound quickly for years to justify a triple-digit multiple. I’d compare the price with a range of future store counts, sales per location, and mature margins rather than with restaurant size alone. Liking the product can identify a good business, but the valuation question is how much of that success the market has already priced in.
i dont understand why you would eat CAVA over CMG you get more food more protein more calories for way less money CMG has been way better lately about not skimping on protein and still here in seattle a chicken bowl is only 10 bucks you cant even get a fucking sandwich for that much money
who the fuck eats CAVA?
Ugh, those CAVA calls didn't print as well as I'd have liked them to. Should've gotten those HRB calls as well, but wasn't sure it would gain all that much....
CAVA making cyclospora delicious
CAVA earnings came in above estimate
I’ll be damned, those $25 CAVA bowls do print!
CAVA could open at $80

CAVA moving +/- 2% on $250K buy/sells is low key hilarious tho
They opened and closed the CAVA in my town within a year
The CAVA crater into close does not fill the heart of call holders with joy
anyone here playing CAVA?
CAVA feels like it's either hitting $50 or $70, here's to hoping it's $70
Anyone playing CAVA for earnings? Looks like it's in a clear downtrend. It could easily plunge into the 40's.
Looks like something I'd write if I was the CEO of CAVA
I am on a roll, played SOUN before earnings, PLUG. Next move if you guys want to make some money will be CAVA.
Anyone work at $CAVA? or eat their a lot? Might be undervalued if they are super busy... stock is at a 6 month low https://preview.redd.it/xtzmn9gvynih1.png?width=1705&format=png&auto=webp&s=2763dffdd0df5c9e93ae33673f93feda01f55bc7
We buying CAVA before earnings tomorrow?
buy puts on CAVA instead. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/esg/cava-founders-board-hit-with-2-2-billion-insider-trading-case ceo himself unloaded about 2.97M shares on june 15, 2026.
ok bois, my covered calls fucked me today which means I have ample cash available. Thinking of short atm puts on ONON --> SMCI and LITE, then long puts on CAVA, followed by puts on CRBS and short atm puts on LUNR
Companies that are shrinking have lower PEs. Wendy's revenue and profits have been shrinking, and any decent turnaround will be them closing underperforming locations. McDonald's struggled but is overall stable, especially compared to Wendy's. CAVA has a 100+ PE ratio because it's actively growing in foot traffic in existing locations and in the number of new locations.
That’s what everyone thought about CAVA, who knows what will happen
Liking the product doesn't guarantee equity returns when multiple compression hits. Fast casual rollouts like CAVA or BROS trade at huge valuation multiples while early store-level unit economics show 18 to 24 month payback periods in high density markets. The real risk isn't store count expansion, it's scaling past core regional density. As store-level CapEx ramps and secondary sites generate lower average unit volumes, return on invested capital degrades. Multiples contract fast long before revenue stops growing.
Shows just how in touch op is. Did they really refer CAVA after receiving news this week.
When you said cava has potential I knew this was a bad faith post. CAVA is a massive insider trading scam.
Didn't CAVA just get accused of insider trading?
The few times I went to CAVA, there were very few people and I had no line to wait for. I do like their food, but it doesn't seem popular like CMG still is today.
You thought CAVA was a sandwich shop? Of course you lost money.
CAVA isn't like SpaceX. It's not just about the % shares available for trading that increases. Investors in SpaceX that can sell will be at 100x profit. That's +10\_000% on their investment. Only WSB wouldn't sell that, at least partially. Then there's the fact KOSPI is behaving like a kangaroo, the fact SpaceX won't be profitable without practically delusional achievements, Musk scamming his investors before, it went down 50% from ATH in 1 month, TSLA merger being borderline impossible due to US and China national security impact and to top it all off - it is in the public eye of literally everyone, IS amd WILL be used as an indicator whether the AI bubble will pop. These are collosal amounts of fear, uncertainty and doubt and they're legitimate. There's 1% chance it skyrockets out of the solar system if the FUD don't cause a sell-off but everything points to mass sell-off.
Wsb post today by someone(not me) CAVA and the shit sandwich you will eat when SPCX shares unlock (and the price pops) Hey it’s yer boy who lost thousands shorting a dumbass sandwich shop in 2023, here to point out why shorting SPCX before the lockup ends is a bad idea (in the short term) The CAVA setup was similar to SPCX. In late 2023 the invisible hand of the market was about to give CAVA insiders a full release. CAVA’s IPO lockup expired on December 12, 2023 and 97 million insider shares became eligible for sale. Following some “Due Dilligemce” (lol) on this sub I got puts. Everybody will cash out haha I am very smart! \[checks notes\] On lockup expiration day, the stock surged 19–20%, closing around $38.87, after trading near $32.50 the prior day. One week later, shares had climbed 30% from their pre-lockup level. Not a goddamn insider sold. Happily, with my money, a hedge fund manager who sold me puts was able replace the wedding ring he left in the stripper. So careful out there. I’m like your mom with my hands on a tiny bag (20 shares), hoping for a little rise but ready for disappointment. May load the boat next week.
CAVA’s public float increased by 600% when the shares unlocked.
CAVA’s public float increased by 600% when the 96 million shares unlocked. The float was previously 14 million. SPCX is dogshit and Musk is a clown, but I just don’t think the unlock is the catalyst people make it out to be.
Who the fuck eats at CAVA? I've never once said, "Let's go to Cava for lunch"
So you were dead wrong about your CAVA play yet you have the balls to come in and talk about how you're right about a SPCX play? Why would anyone care what you have to say when you begin your spiel with how you lost thousands on another bad play?
The return of the CAVA 2019 menu would solve more problems than AGI would.
I think CAVA is more about pita wraps than burgers
heard about the CAVA insider trading case... Calls it is.
Is this related to Tom Homan getting $10k in cash in a CAVA bag? Or just a fun coincidence?
I’m thinking SNDK CAVA or RDDT calls. You could say I’m a diverse trader
CAVA eating its lunch for a while now
CAVA same store sales up 30% and I'd argue their food is more expensive than my average Chipotle run. It's a tough spot for food service, I agree. But with the right product and marketing you can still grow.
NAYA - next CAVA
CAVA is where it's at nowadays
CAVA the only green for me 😢
OH I PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE! CAVA, 60%+ owned by insiders who had an average buy around 7 dollars. Cava was trading around 35 with the unlock period around the corner. I loaded up on puts And that bitch blasted off to 140. Might have been 90+% owned by insiders, but i dont wanna lie on the internet.
CAVA getting a World Cup pump.
CAVA feeding the world for the next month.
I agree but not all IPOs drop a lot. CAVA is one that comes to mind recently, but it also seems like an exception and not the rule type of thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if SPCX doesn’t really fall much but I assume some of the initial investors will want to take a return on their money when it moves up high enough. That alone should cause dips but it might never dip below the IPO price.
CAVA with 10% of the stores that CME has and it's 22% of their market cap and creeping up.
Looks like food stocks have bottomed or is it world cup magic $WING $CAVA
CAVA is the next CMG right?
CAVA is overpriced and not worth the money
CAVA is way better than Chipotle
Consumer sentiment has been hitting historic lows for literally years now. You've all just failed to be able to deliver good value and are blaming it on the consumer. There are others in the same markets doing well. CAVA is seeing more spending at existing location and opening more locations for instance. $15 "value meals" are going to have trouble competing with a consumer expecting "real" food at those prices. Of course Planet Fitness is looking bad as GLP-1s become more mainstream, accessible, and affordable. Their demographic isn't there to bulk up on lean mass working on their Romanian Deadlifts. They're there to lose fat and just found out there's a way that requires no work. Americans love that shit. Ah yes, and Whirlpool. Clearly it's not that you have an inefficient supply chain. It's quite obvious that "winter storms" have been stopping consumers from buying washing machines.... At least tell us home buying has cooled due to high interest rates. I'd believe that.
yep i am 33 so i have that mentally where i dont NEED to take profits bc i have a long time horizon blah blah blah, meanwhile i left thousands on the table with CAVA, AZO and a couple others for just that. One can only develop a true rule once they endure some bullshit like that 😂 I just see guys posting stocks they bought in 2010 up xx,xxx% and i’m like ok I’ll withstand some ups and downs.
ETFS? Yuck. No. You must sell covered calls and wheel on CAVA and Ford. You must monitor and adjust your positions every day.
yeah I'd keep an eye on it, they are expanding. hopefully not as fast as CAVA where they wreck themselves. JINYA is another one I'm not sure if it's public yet, but they are expanding super fast. it's basically a ramen bar for white (gentrified areas) people. so it'll probably bring big money.
Everyone posting things that have already launched massively recently... I'm thinking about buying some that have been lagging CMG/CAVA - basically no growth in the last year, but the ones by me are always crowded NTDOY - beat up in the last year but has strong IPs COLD/LINE - temperature controlled warehousing (food preservation) AXON - down 50% in the last year but everyone loves bodycams
The one where I used to live was alright. It was pickup only and run more efficiently. The CAVA in my new town has trash all over the floor and also allows you to order in the restaurant, which turns the entire operation into a total cluster.
I sold puts on CAVA last year and it promptly dropped 20% and I was stuck in the trade for a year lol
CAVA blows. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
