Cava, a Mediterranean fast casual chain, experienced a significant surge in its stock price, increasing over 20% to reach a new all-time high of $125.87 per share. The company's Q2 earnings surpassed expectations, driving the stock's rise.
Since its IPO in June 2023, Cava's stock has skyrocketed by over 460%, outperforming even the top-performing S&P 500 stock, Nvidia, which gained 200% in the same period. Analysts believe the addition of steak to Cava's menu in June and the company's conservative upwardly revised forecasts contributed to their strong quarter.
Despite increasing costs, Cava is expanding aggressively, opening new stores with improving unit performance. The company's focus on healthy living and diverse food options aligns with consumer demand, and its growth potential remains significant with approximately 350 stores currently.
