The negative data from Bloomberg Second Measure, combined with the downgrade from TD Cowen, has raised concerns about Sweetgreen's performance and future prospects. The analyst firm TD Cowen cited rising competition in urban areas and risks to the salad chain's performance this year and next as reasons for the downgrade [1].
Sweetgreen's stock price fell by 8.9% at 11:40 a.m. on July 1, 2025, trading close to its 2025 lows. The company's short interest, which stands at 14.7% of the total float, is the 7th highest in the restaurant sector [1]. Despite the negative news, Sweetgreen is expected to report its Q2 earnings during the first week of August, which could provide more clarity on its financial performance.
The broader market context also played a role in Sweetgreen's stock performance. Tesla (TSLA) shed 6% due to President Donald Trump's comments on potential cost-cutting measures for the electric vehicle maker [2]. Meanwhile, other companies like AeroVironment and Progress Software also experienced significant price movements due to their respective news and earnings reports [2].
As investors await Sweetgreen's Q2 earnings report, the market will closely watch for any signs of recovery or further decline in the company's performance. The company's ability to navigate the challenges posed by rising competition and maintain its long-term prospects will be key factors in determining its future stock price trajectory.
