Sweetgreen, Inc. Hits New 52-Week Low at $5.20 Amid Financial Struggles

Sweetgreen, Inc., a small-cap player in the Leisure Services industry, has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 5.20 on November 7, 2025. This marks a significant decline, with the stock's performance over the past year showing a decrease of 82.27%, starkly contrasting with the S&P 500's gain of 12.65% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 971 million, and it currently does not offer a dividend yield. Sweetgreen's financial metrics reveal a challenging landscape, with a negative return on equity of -21.40% and a debt-to-equity ratio of -0.30. The stock's price-to-book ratio is recorded at 2.29, indicating potential valuation concerns.

In recent months, Sweetgreen has faced rising raw material costs, which have increased by 33.74% year-over-year. Additionally, promoter confidence appears to be waning, as stakeholders have reduced their holdings by 4.54% in the last quarter. This combination of factors has contributed to the stock's underperformance, both in the short and long term, as it continues to navigate a difficult market environment.
