The author argues Sweetgreen (SG) is a long turnaround/breakout as wraps, same-store sales recovery, Spyce divestiture, and influencer marketing drive revenue and restaurant-level margin expansion. They cite April 2026 wrap test market same-store sales growth of 4.8%, potential restaurant margins rising to 15% if wraps reach 20% of sales mix, and updated FY2026 guidance for positive Adjusted EBITDA of $1-$6.0M. The author also cites 22% short interest, 4.8 days to cover, net insider buying of 1.276M shares, and hedge fund ownership increases as catalysts. They set a December 2026 target of $12.60/share (+150%) on 2x P/S, with an optimistic $25.20/share (+300%) on 4x P/S, and state they have taken significant stock and options positions accordingly.

The author argues RKT will benefit as $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases lower mortgage rates, with more government action coming. Multiple Fed openings, strong GDP, and low inflation clear the path for rate cuts through spring, pushing mortgage rates to the high 4% range by year-end. Political incentives favor lower rates, and RKT is a top S&P 500 inclusion candidate.
