15:00 ET - Cava is leveling up its operations at the right time, showing its potential for scale and growth, Stifel analysts say in a note. The fast-casual chain has filled 60% of its new assistant general manager roles and restructured its field leadership ahead of opening new locations in the Midwest, the analysts say. The company is building the talent required to scale to 1,000 units by 2032 from 439 at the end of 2025, investing aggressively in infrastructure and talent during periods of strength, they say. The strategy "distinguishes CAVA as a scalable growth company, ensuring durable new unit productivity," they say. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
