Will CAVA report full-year FY2026 same-restaurant sales growth of 3% or above?

Management guided 3-5% and Q1 is tracking above guide. The 3% threshold is the low end of guidance. CAVA has consistently met or exceeded guidance. Conservative pricing provides a lever if traffic softens. Seasonal strength in Q2-Q3 supports the full-year average. Above 60%.

Q4 deceleration to +0.5% is concerning but partly lapping-driven. The full-year requires averaging 3%+ which means Q2-Q4 need to sustain above 3%. If Q1 is above guide, the remaining quarters carry less burden. Management has a track record of conservative guidance. Around 60%.

The comp deceleration reflects normalization from unsustainable 10%+ levels, not demand erosion. Traffic-driven growth (not pricing) is a quality signal. Mediterranean cuisine seasonal patterns favor warmer months. Lean YES at 60%+.

Management guided 3-5% with Q1 tracking above. 3% is a conservative threshold. Tariff-driven consumer softening is a risk but CAVA's value pricing provides relative protection. Above 60%.

Consumer spending uncertainty from tariff impacts could dampen traffic. New Midwest locations may have weaker comps initially. The full-year threshold of 3% is achievable but not guaranteed if macro conditions deteriorate. Around 58%.

Strong execution track record, Q1 above guide, seasonal tailwinds. Management has consistently beaten comp guidance. Above 60%.

Q1 above guide, conservative threshold, seasonal support. Above 60%.

Consumer uncertainty adds risk. But 3% is achievable for this operator. Around 58%.

Management guidance + Q1 strength + seasonal patterns support. Above 60%.
