CAVA: A Bullish Q1 And Guide, But The Valuation Assumes Extreme Growth

CAVA Group, Inc. delivered strong Q1 results, beating EPS and revenue estimates, and raised full-year 2026 guidance. CAVA's valuation remains elevated, pricing in major growth with a PEG ratio near 2.0x and intrinsic value at $72. I maintain a Hold rating on CAVA due to mixed technicals, high volatility, and marginally expensive valuation despite robust operational momentum.
