Sweetgreen stock price stabilized at $15.90 amid broader consumer sector earnings releases. Risk-adjusted returns remain favorable, with beta at 1.12 and volatility moderated compared to other growth-oriented food stocks. The Bottom Line: Five chains went public that year, Dutch Bros, First Watch, Sweetgreen, Portillo’s and Krispy Kreme. Only one of those is trading above their IPO price. It also projects negative same-store sales for the full year, estimating declines of between 4% and 6%, down from its original outlook of single-digit growth. Restaurant-level profit margin for 2025 is expected to be 200 basis points lower than Sweetgreen's latest outlook in May. That includes a 40 basis-point hit due to the effect of tariffs. Sweetgreen stock price benefits from sector-wide sentiment favoring healthy food options. Institutional buying reports show increased stakes from large asset managers, enhancing liquidity and confidence in the ticker.
