Sweetgreen: Disappointing Slide In Growth, Recovery Will Likely Take Time (Downgrade)
Shares of Sweetgreen dropped over 10% after reporting a deceleration in same-store sales growth in Q4, while also forecasting continued deceleration in FY25. The company is expecting same-store sales growth to turn negative in Q1, driven in part by LA wildfires (LA represents ~15% of the company's portfolio). I'm downgrading Sweetgreen to neutral on its weaker growth trends, though the long-term bull case for margin expansion via Infinite Kitchens remains intact.
