Sweetgreen Stock Sell-Off: Should You Buy the Dip?
2025-10-13 05:45:00 ET
Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) , a fast-casual restaurant specializing in salads and grain bowls, attracted a lot of attention when it went public on Nov. 18, 2021. Its stock surged from its IPO price of $28 to $52 on its opening trade, and it closed at its record high of $53 a day later.
At the time, the bulls were impressed by Sweetgreen's strong same-store sales growth and ambitious expansion plans, and it was frequently called the "next Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) ." The buying frenzy in growth stocks further amplified its gains and inflated its valuations.
But today, Sweetgreen's stock trades at about $8. Its valuations wilted as its same-store sales growth cooled off, inflation boosted its labor and commodity costs, and it faced tougher competitors. Should investors buy the dip and expect a recovery over the next 12 months?
