Inside the technicals of CAVA

Feature Story

Technical Analysis

CAVA has been on a bit of a downward spiral since October of last year. CAVA peaked at $172.23 on earnings that day, but then never saw a retest. Since then CAVA has seen a few disappointing earnings dragging the price down to what it is today (8/13/25) at $72.09.

The technical analysis, in a very broad spectrum, is quite simple for CAVA right now. Take a look at the above hour chart dating back to March of last year. This one line tells the whole story. This line is roughly the median of the supports and resistances of the last year and a half. You can see in multiple spots where the price has bounced off this area or used it as a resistance.

This could be a critical spot. Lets look a little closer now to today’s action in the above hourly chart. Today, CAVA Group announced their quarterly earnings. CAVA missed Q2 same-store sales and revenue estimates, leading to an adjusted forecast. CAVA’s Q2 net income fell to $18.4M or 16 cents per share, from $19.7M last year. CAVA’s value fell below this support line that we talked about earlier. It opened below it and since then has been bouncing around it, getting rejected a few times.

This is a tough place to be in if you’re holding. This is a massive resistance that CAVA needs to get back above and stay above. Not only that, if they do, they are looking at about a 19% move just to get back to where they closed yesterday. As of the time writing this article, CAVA is down 15.5%.

A Final Note

What’s next? As I said, CAVA is in a tough spot. If CAVA can’t find momentum here, I’m looking at the $59 range being the next support area. There is a silver lining to today’s news though. Cava announced that they secured a $25M investment in Hyphen. This is a company that increases profitability and productivity for the foodservice industry by automating meal production with its makeline and augmenting kitchen staff using its CulinaryOS. This is something currently being used by Chipotle.

This is a significant dip from the ATH. It could be a good entry point if CAVA can turn around here, I would just caution that they should regain momentum over this resistance line before to much confidence is thrown in. Good Luck.
