CAVA: A Great Growth Story, But Fairly Priced

CAVA is a great growth story with rapid restaurant expansion, strong same-store sales, and a robust balance sheet fueling further growth. CAVA's unique position as the leading Mediterranean chain in the U.S. gives it first-mover advantages and a significant runway for expansion. Valuation is fair after the recent dip, but I would buy on a pullback in the high 70s-low 80s range with a larger margin of safety.
