Cava Group gave a rosy outlook for 2026 and reported fourth-quarter sales growth, showing the Mediterranean chain is outperforming its fast-casual rivals while bucking expectations for a slowdown. The shares rose in extended trading.
Sales from established restaurants are seen expanding 3% to 5% this year, Cava said Tuesday in a statement, higher than the average of analyst estimates. The midpoint of the range would match Cava’s 2025 performance.
