Sweetgreen (SG) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Sweetgreen (SG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
The fundamental outlook for Sweetgreen Inc. is underscored by the expectation of ongoing robust top-line growth, which is anticipated to enhance profitability through improved scale and leverage of fixed costs over time. The company's current restaurant margin of 17.5% in 2023 is projected to increase beyond prior peak levels, facilitated by sales leverage associated with average unit volume (AUV) growth and innovative menu offerings. Additionally, Sweetgreen's successful execution of marketing strategies and traffic improvement, along with the introduction of Infinite Kitchens, is expected to further elevate restaurant margins and bolster unit growth opportunities moving into 2025 and beyond.
Bears say
The financial analysis indicates a negative outlook for Sweetgreen's stock due to several key factors impacting its performance. First, fourth-quarter same-store sales (SSS) fell 190 basis points below expectations, with a disappointing traffic trend, particularly exacerbated by adverse weather conditions and timing around the holidays, affecting Q1 guidance significantly. Additionally, lowered estimates for revenue and EBITDA, including a revised restaurant-level margin projection, reflect concerns over slower growth in core markets and persistent headwinds leading into 2025.
