CAVA Reports 9% Same-Store Sales Growth in Q2 2026
Earnings
CAVA Group reported 9% same-store sales growth in the second quarter of 2026, driven by a 5.3% increase in traffic. The company maintained its full-year 2026 same-store sales growth guidance of 4.5% to 6.5%, despite near-term pressure from food-safety concerns related to the Cyclospora outbreak. CAVA said recent sales trends have improved sequentially, with same-store sales recovering to the mid-single-digit range after initially slowing to flat to positive. The company also noted no immediate impact from the recent Salmonella outbreak and does not source from the associated farms. CAVA's shares have gained 6.9% in the past year, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2026 earnings per share has declined in the past 60 days.
