Casual salad chain Sweetgreen (NYSE:SG) missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, with sales flat year on year at $185.6 million. The company’s full-year revenue guidance of $707.5 million at the midpoint came in 4.4% below analysts’ estimates. Its GAAP loss of $0.20 per share was 64.3% below analysts’ consensus estimates.
Sweetgreen shares are tanking in Thursday's after-hours session after the company turned in worse-than-expected financial results and cut its full-year guidance.
Sweetgreen, Inc. (NYSE: SG) (the “Company”), the mission-driven, next-generation restaurant and lifestyle brand that serves healthy food at scale, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2025.
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after a surprisingly weak U.S. jobs report and renewed fears over international trade policy fueled concerns about a slowdown in consumer spending.
On August 1, Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) invites guests to celebrate its roots in honor of 18 years of its Guacamole Greens salad, known by fans as “Guac Greens” for short. Introduced at the very beginning of Sweetgreen’s journey, the salad features a vibrant combination of roasted chicken, grape tomatoes, crisp greens, tortilla chips, and ripe avocado. True to its guacamole inspiration, the dish is finished with a lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette and a fresh squeeze of lime. Guac Greens remains a customer favorite, celebrated for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and uncompromising flavor, even as the company has grown and expanded its menu significantly since its founding in 2007.
While some companies burn cash to fuel expansion, others struggle to turn spending into sustainable growth.
A high cash burn rate without a strong balance sheet can leave investors exposed to significant downside.
Restaurants increase convenience and give many people a place to unwind. But the side dish is that they’re quite difficult to operate because high inventory and labor costs generally lead to thin margins at the store level.
This leaves little room for error if demand dries up, and it seems like the market has some reservations as the industry has tumbled by 7.4% over the past six months. This drop is a noticeable divergence from the S&P 500’s 5.4% return.
