Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openCAVA is targeting 75 to 77 net new restaurant openings in 2026, with the company pointing to strong performance from recent restaurant openings, solid early sales at new locations, and broad customer demand as supporting the expansion plan.
Both CAVA and Chipotle posted positive customer traffic growth in the first half of 2026, a rare feat in the fast casual restaurant segment recently. CAVA grew by attracting new customers, while Chipotle grew by getting existing customers to visit more often, reflecting their different stages of business.
Robert W. Baird upgraded CAVA Group to a 'strong-buy' rating, the highest positive recommendation an analyst can issue on a typical scale. The report provided no price target or reasoning, so there is little else to summarize.
CAVA's same-store sales dipped near the end of its quarter ended July 12 after summer food-safety scares hit the fast-casual industry, but CFO Tricia Tolivar told the Wall Street Journal that growth rebounded to mid-single digits by early August. The company says it never sourced from the suppliers implicated in a cyclospora outbreak tied to lettuce or a salmonella scare linked to jalapeños.
BlackRock Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that it bought a new position in CAVA Group during the second quarter, purchasing 9,645,932 shares worth roughly $757 million.
