CAVA Group Inc. (CAVA) saw its stock price plummet 5.49% during intraday trading on Thursday.
The decline appears driven by profit-taking activity following a sharp post-earnings rally, as investors locked in gains after the stock surged over 10% in the previous session on the back of a strong Q1 earnings report. Broader weakness across the restaurant sector also contributed to the downward pressure, with several major industry players trading lower.
Additionally, insider trading filings disclosed earlier in the month have added incremental selling pressure on the shares.
