The bull market in Mediterranean rice bowlsWhile many investors spend weeks or even months searching for the next big AI stock, a company from a different sector has quietly taken the spotlight since the start of the year. With Mediterranean rice bowls as their signature offering, CAVA has surged to a market value of $15 billion and has become one of the top-performing stocks of the year up 200% since its IPO and even more than that since the year began. Here are some quick facts about CAVA and the industry: Market Value: CAVA is now worth $15 billion. Stock Performance: CAVA has been one of the top-performing stocks in 2024 despite tech stocks remaining the preferred sector. Fast-Casual Health: The fast-casual healthy dining sector is rapidly expanding, crushing companies like McDonald's as consumer preference changes. CAVA's Niche: Mediterranean cuisine, with its focus on fresh ingredients, has resonated with health-conscious consumers. How much further can this go? Expansion Plans: CAVA is aggressively expanding its footprint, opening new locations across the U.S. So what's the lesson here? Well, I am not buying or selling this. I am late and missed it! The point of this story is that it can pay to look in other markets when everyone is focused on a specific sector. The biggest wins can come from unexpected places—like a Mediterranean rice bowl.

Short CAVA potential Gap fillThe current ascending triangle has tested 128 multiple times since August. Briefly holding above on 9/23/24 following a major retracement to a long term support trendline. I believe if the broader market turns bearish in the next week it will retest the 121-122 levels of support. if the current macro-economic events in the middle east, a hard landing and/or the euro/asian markets begin a reversal then we could see the gap fill to 104 in the long term. possibly in the next month or two. CAVA has strong fundamentals and a strong price target of 135 by UBS just a week ago. So i wouldnt be surprised if it breaks through the 128 level one more time before shifting directions. These are my observations and not financial advice.

9/20/24 - a PSA - FAFO Friday's (the long and short of it)I try to stick to longs generally for a few reasons - bc they can make much more money from a compounding situation - shorting in a print-money-make-all-turds-float-market is truly miserable - it takes 2x the effort to find shorts than longs and you have to babysit them With that being said, sometimes i can't help myself esp when it comes to offsetting my longs AND given i look at a lot of things, i tend to develop a list of stuff that's (just being real) pretty easy to avoid on the long side even if it's a momo-situation. So. For those paying attention, i have a short list of things that i'm short and while in the short term they've tended to move against me... i am still holding them. i'm that confident the longs are renting exposure and majority of owners (and the loudest voices) are pretty low IQ opinions of how to value stonks. Have written about these. so go check that out. NASDAQ:NN - worth a sneeze above zero, fundamentally NYSE:PLTR - everyone who knows nothing about valuation but missed NASDAQ:NVDA loves this but can't tell you how they value it NASDAQ:APLD - a CRYPTOCAP:BTC meme datacenter NYSE:SG - great salads, but owning the stonk is like meeting p diddy in the pen. salad toss freak stonk. NYSE:CAVA - a slightly better margin version of $sg. great food. redonk valuation on stonk (mgmt btw has been dumping... you holding that bag lol) NASDAQ:WING - take a peek at the EPS vs. the valuation. if u enjoy paying 35x sales for NYSE:PLTR , you'll love paying 20x sales for a place that sells wings ;) AMEX:KRE - bc the banking biz won't fare well if the long end of the curve keeps rising in a "rates cut" environment. banks are fukt and nothing's been fixed. another FAFO situation. so there you have it F.A.F.O. Friday. Have a wonderful weekend V (long book is 25% gdlc, 10% bitw, 15% nxt, 15% celh, 5% myps and some misc. including some meme shorts above) for now we remain in the casino go up. so position in things that are cheap or trade at discounts that you understand and haven't become popular. keep some cash on the sidelines (i am still packing quite a bit given my NASDAQ:CELH is leveraged w/ LT calls)... and keep an eye out. i can tell you that nobody knows what is going to happen next. so just have a game plan.

Cava Stock Tumbles Amid Insider Selling Frenzy: What’s Next?Cava Group (NYSE: NYSE:CAVA ), the Mediterranean-themed restaurant chain, has been a darling of the stock market in 2024, nearly tripling in value since the beginning of the year. However, the stock took a significant hit early Tuesday after CEO Brent Schulman and several key executives and directors disclosed large sales of their shares. This insider selling, combined with technical indicators pointing to an overbought condition, has left investors wondering whether CAVA's remarkable run is coming to an end or if this is just a temporary setback. Insider Selling Spurs Concern According to SEC filings released Monday night, CEO Brent Schulman sold 210,504 shares for a total of $24.87 million. Other key figures, including Cava co-founder and Chief Concept Officer Ted Xenohristos, CFO Patricia Tolivar, and board members James White and David Bosserman, also sold substantial portions of their holdings, collectively cashing out millions of dollars. Insider selling, especially after a stock has experienced a sharp rise, often triggers concerns among investors. It can be perceived as a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance, even if the sales are for personal financial reasons. NYSE:CAVA Stock: Technical Analysis From a technical perspective, NYSE:CAVA stock is currently under pressure. After reaching record highs following its Q2 earnings report, which showed an impressive 183% spike in earnings and 35% revenue growth, the stock surged nearly 20% on Friday. However, as of Tuesday morning, the stock was down 7.87% in pre-market trading, indicating a potential gap-down pattern. One key technical indicator to consider is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures the speed and change of price movements. As of Monday, CAVA's RSI stood at 84, placing it firmly in the overbought territory. Stocks with an RSI above 70 are generally considered overbought and may be due for a pullback. This RSI reading suggests that CAVA’s rapid rise may have been overextended, making it ripe for profit-taking and a potential correction. Investors should keep a close eye on the $107 support level. If the stock dips to this point and bounces back, it could signal a bullish reversal. However, if it breaks below this level, further declines could be in store, potentially erasing more of the year-to-date gains. Fundamental Analysis: A Strong Growth Story Despite the recent insider selling and technical warning signs, Cava’s fundamental story remains compelling. The company has demonstrated strong earnings growth, with its Q2 earnings up 183% year-over-year, easily beating analyst expectations. Revenue growth has also accelerated to 35%, showcasing the company’s ability to expand its market presence and attract more customers. Cava's IPO in June 2023 at $22 per share marked the beginning of its meteoric rise, fueled by investor enthusiasm for its growth potential in the fast-casual dining sector. The stock's performance has been further supported by positive sentiment around its unique Mediterranean-focused menu, which appeals to health-conscious consumers. What’s Next for CAVA Stock? While the insider selling is a red flag, it doesn’t necessarily spell doom for NYSE:CAVA stock. The company's strong fundamentals suggest that it still has significant growth potential. However, investors should be cautious in the short term, particularly given the overbought technical conditions and the possibility of further downside if the stock breaks through key support levels. For long-term investors, this pullback could present a buying opportunity, especially if the stock stabilizes above its support levels. For traders, it may be wise to wait for clearer signals before jumping back in, such as a reversal pattern or a confirmation of support at the $107 level. In conclusion, while CAVA stock's recent dip is concerning, especially in light of the insider selling, the company's robust earnings and revenue growth indicate that its long-term story remains intact. Investors should monitor the stock's technical levels closely and consider the broader market context before making any decisions.

Cava Group’s Stellar Quarter: Earnings Beat EstimatesCava Group (NYSE: NYSE:CAVA ), the Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain, has once again proven its mettle in the competitive restaurant industry. The company’s latest quarterly earnings report not only exceeded Wall Street’s expectations but also showcased Cava’s robust growth and expanding footprint. Earnings and Revenue Soar For the fiscal second quarter, which ended on July 14, 2024, Cava (NYSE: NYSE:CAVA ) reported earnings per share of 17 cents, surpassing analysts’ estimates of 13 cents. The company’s revenue also exceeded expectations, reaching $233 million, up 35% from the same period last year. This impressive growth was driven by a 14.4% increase in same-store sales, far outpacing the industry’s trends, which have seen many restaurant chains struggle with declining traffic. Riding the Wave of Traffic Growth One of the standout metrics from Cava’s report was the nearly 10% increase in customer traffic. While many other restaurant chains are experiencing a slowdown as consumers cut back on spending, Cava’s traffic growth is a testament to the brand’s strong appeal and innovative menu offerings. CEO and co-founder Brett Schulman attributed this growth to the introduction of a new grilled steak option, which has been a hit with customers, encouraging repeat visits and higher spending per visit. Expansion and Future Outlook Cava’s aggressive expansion strategy is another key driver of its success. During the quarter, the company opened 18 net new locations, bringing its total to 341 restaurants. This 22.2% year-over-year increase in restaurant count is a clear indication of the brand’s growing popularity and market penetration. Looking ahead, Cava (NYSE: NYSE:CAVA ) has raised its full-year outlook, now expecting same-store sales growth between 8.5% and 9.5%, up from its previous forecast of 4.5% to 6.5%. The company also plans to open 54 to 57 new locations this year, slightly up from its earlier guidance. This expansion is supported by strong unit economics, with average unit volumes reaching $2.7 million, up from $2.6 million last year. Strong Financial Performance Cava’s financial performance was equally impressive, with a restaurant-level profit margin of 26.5%, slightly higher than the 26.1% reported in the prior year. The company’s digital revenue mix remained strong at 35.8%, reflecting the growing importance of online ordering and delivery in today’s restaurant industry. Net income for the quarter was $19.7 million, up from $6.5 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA grew to $34.3 million from $21.6 million. These figures underscore Cava’s ability to generate strong cash flow and profitability even as it continues to invest in growth. Technical Outlook Cava Group (NYSE: NYSE:CAVA ) has seen its stock rise by an impressive 8.65% during the premarket trading session on Friday. This significant increase in stock value has raised some eyebrows among investors and analysts alike. However, prior to this noteworthy surge in price, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Cava Group was measured at 76. This high RSI level suggests that the stock is currently in an overbought territory. As a result, there is an expectation that a trend reversal might be on the horizon since buyers could potentially face challenges in sustaining this upward momentum for much longer. The market dynamics indicate that caution may be warranted as the situation develops. Conclusion Cava’s second-quarter results highlight the company’s resilience and growth potential in a challenging economic environment. With its successful expansion strategy, strong customer traffic, and innovative menu offerings, Cava is well-positioned to continue its upward trajectory. As the company raises its full-year outlook and continues to outperform industry trends, it’s clear that Cava is not just surviving but thriving in today’s competitive restaurant landscape.

Long CAVA @84.31I love this one so I reached just a little at the strong open this morning. Oversold in a VERY strong 9 month uptrend. If you follow me you know the drill: Oversold, keep buying 1 lot as long as it stays oversold and sell each lot as it becomes both overbought AND profitable. Indicator and strategy paired with CAVA are 23-4* in the last 12 months (the 4 "losses" are open trades from the most recent signal that hasn't reached the goal yet). I just discovered the stock and crunched the numbers this weekend so my first actual trade in this ticker is this one, but I bought a quadruple lot since it's been oversold for 4 consecutive trading days. The stats below include pricing the 4 "losses" at the closing price from Friday as negative return closed trades. As of this moment the numbers would be better since the stock is up from my entry price. Average win = +7.5% Median win = 9.34 Total return last 12M = 2.01x lot (201% of the lot size you're trading) The only downside is that early in the 12 month lookback, it was in a downtrend and several trades took months to close, so the average holding period per lot is 36 days because of that. These trades don't always work out immediately. That said, the last ten trades have had a holding period on average of 7 days which is a very quick turnaround for this type of trade. The holding period on trades matters. When the money is tied up in a trade for 6 months, it can't be used for other trades that could make money more quickly. That's the big drawback of buy and hold in my opinion, even if you pick the stocks well (something professional money managers can't do well enough to outperform the indexes consistently). All that said, the recent performance of CAVA suggests a fairly quick turnaround on the trade. We shall see. As always - this is fiscal entertainment. My trades are mine and not presented as investment advice. If you choose to trade along with me, it's your responsibility if the trade goes sideways on you. But if you do trade it, I hope you make money, because that means I'm making it too. :) I'll add updates if I add or sell lots.

CAVA Cup & Handle Breakout TradeHappy Tuesday everybody, the stock caba is set to make a breakout of a base soon and I'm going to make a play on it to see if I can catch that move doing a buy to open and setting my stop loss below Monday's low. This stock is part of the consumer cyclical sector which has been performing well possibly because of pending interest rate cuts leading to increased consumer spending with credit cards but I'm not really sure if that's the cause.

CAVA Group Reports First Quarter 2024 ResultsCAVA Group, Inc., ( NYSE:CAVA ) a Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant brand, has reported its first quarter 2024 financial results. The company's revenue growth of 30.3%, including the same restaurant sales growth of 2.3%, was driven by its highly portable Mediterranean concept and powerful unit economic engine. The company opened 14 new restaurants during the quarter, and as it continues to invest in scalable infrastructure, it is in a strong position to capture the significant whitespace opportunity ahead. The company's revenue increased by 30.3% to $256.3 million, compared to $196.8 million in the prior year quarter. The company also saw a 22.8% increase in total CAVA Restaurants year over year, with 86 new CAVA Restaurant Openings. The same restaurant sales growth was also strong, with a 2.3% increase from menu price and product mix. CAVA's Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $33.3 million, compared to $16.7 million in the prior year quarter. The company's net income was $14.0 million, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the previous quarter. The adjusted EBITDA(1) was $33.3 million, or 12.9% of revenue, an increase of 99.0% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The company's Restaurant-Level Profit Margin was 25.2%, compared to 25.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. This decrease was due to incremental wage investments and lower food, beverage, and packaging costs as a percentage of revenue. General and administrative expenses were $33.8 million, or 13.1% of revenue, compared to $29.0 million, or 14.3% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher performance-based incentive compensation in the prior year quarter and leverage from higher sales, partially offset by investments in the Collaboration Center Organization to support growth and recurring public company costs. Net income was $14.0 million, or 5.4% of revenue, an increase of $16.1 million compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The adjusted EBITDA(1) was $33.3 million, or 12.9% of revenue, an increase of $16.6 million, or 99.0%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Technical Outlook CAVA Group stock ( NYSE:CAVA ) is down 2.82% in Tuesday's pre-market trading. The stock closed Tuesday's market trading with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 66.59 which was quiet overbought.

5/28/24 - $cava - number go up, valuation irrelevant for now...5/28/24 - vrockstar - NYSE:CAVA - taking a look at google trends... clearly we've not hit peak cava so... the market has tended to love these stories in the last 6-12 mo where you can't even see the peak. so valuation be secondary - even if it's 10x sales. NASDAQ:WING is closer to 20x, right? investing all profits (so no free cash) for cava... into growth? it's a good concept, fresh, nice. it's not NYSE:CMG , but it occupies a different niche and does it well, i like the margins better than NYSE:SG too. i'd be tempted to trade this long into the results, just bc of this momentum on the charts, fundamentals, etc. any miss gets bought, any beat/ positive fwd speech (this is impossible to deny/ miss on right? and it matters a lot)... sends this ripping to higher highs. reasonably shorted at 6 dtc as well. wouldn't play short in indices hitting ATH's either esp for marginal winner name in it's industry. number go up.
