On May 28, CAVA Group fell 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $78.2/share, with trading volume of $104 million. The decline mirrors a similar pattern seen earlier this month, when the stock dropped sharply following a strong earnings-driven rally.

The pullback comes after CAVA surged 5.24% on May 27, fueled by continued momentum from its first-quarter results. The company reported EPS of $0.20, beating analyst estimates of $0.17 by 17.65%, while quarterly revenue of $438.3 million grew approximately 32% year-over-year and comfortably exceeded expectations. Same-store sales rose 9.7% with notable traffic improvement, prompting the company to raise full-year guidance. Multiple investment banks issued upgrades following the report.

However, the high valuation — with a trailing P/E ratio above 150x — appears to be inviting profit-taking after the rapid recovery. Within the Restaurants sector, broad weakness is evident, with McDonald's down 1.11%, Chipotle down 1.42%, Starbucks down 0.61%, and Domino's Pizza down 0.29%.
