CAVA beat earnings and guided for 3-5% comparable sales growth (above consensus). They have taken less price increases compared to peers like Chipotle. By maintaining a relative value gap (lower prices than competitors), CAVA is driving foot traffic and volume growth in a consumer environment where diners are fatigued by high prices. LONG. Rising input costs could eventually force price hikes, potentially dampening the traffic advantage.
