CAVA Raises Full-Year Outlook After Traffic Growth Drives Earnings Beat

CAVA Group, the Mediterranean fast-casual chain, raised its full-year outlook after reporting better-than-expected earnings. Same-restaurant sales grew 9.7% in the quarter, driven by a 6.8% increase in guest traffic. The company's performance reflects strong consumer demand for its menu offerings and successful expansion efforts. CAVA now expects full-year revenue between $1.12 billion and $1.14 billion, up from prior guidance. The stock rose in after-hours trading following the announcement.
