# Weekly Recap | Cava -8.03%, underperforming the S&P 500

## The Week

Cava (CAVA) fell 8.03% this week to close at $55.88, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.8%, leaving the stock about 7.23 percentage points behind the index. The four-session week was almost a straight line down: the stock opened at $61.19 on Tuesday and slid each day, hitting a low of $53.91 on Thursday before a small Friday bounce to $55.88. There was no major company-specific catalyst this week; the move largely reflected broader positioning in consumer retail.

## Analyst Ratings

Of the 28 analysts covering Cava, 14 rate it buy, 4 rate it overweight, 9 rate it hold, and 1 rates it sell. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target of $84.79 sits about 51.7% above the latest close of $55.88. The target range is wide, from $18 to $110, pointing to meaningful disagreement on valuation. Cava ranks 8th out of 46 peers in the restaurant industry.

## The Week Ahead

Tuesday brings the New York Fed manufacturing index, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a consensus estimate of 14.75. Wednesday is heavy with US retail data: retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, retail sales control, and import prices. Retail sales last printed at -0.6% and are forecast at 0.9%. As a consumer retail name, Cava tends to react to spending data, so this batch could set the tone for the sector next week.
