Investing.com -- Sweetgreen Inc (NYSE:SG) shares climbed on Monday after Wells Fargo & Co. upgraded the fast-casual salad chain, pointing to a faster-than-expected operational recovery following a summer parasite outbreak that temporarily depressed customer traffic. Analyst Anthony Trainor raised his rating on the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight and set an $11 price target, sending the stock up as much as 2.3% in trading.

Rapid spending isn’t always a sign of progress. Some cash-burning businesses fail to convert investments into meaningful competitive advantages, leaving them vulnerable.

Over the past six months, Sweetgreen has been a great trade, beating the S&P 500 by 12.6%. Its stock price has climbed to $6.99, representing a healthy 26.6% increase. This performance may have investors wondering how to approach the situation.

Cava (CAVA) stock is down about 44% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 was roughly flat. A fall that size usually leaves something cheap behind. It has not here. Cava still trades at 88 times earnings against about 23 for the S&P 500, and much of what you are paying for is restaurants that are not open yet.

The food hall company will use the tech it acquired from Sweetgreen for $186 million to offer lower prices, extended hours and expand into new markets.

The Infinite Makeline can produce meals from six Wonder concepts and is part of the chain’s plans to automate more of its operations.
