Sweetgreen, Inc. Hits New 52-Week Low at $6.25 Amid Financial Struggles

Sweetgreen, Inc., a small-cap player in the leisure services industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 6.25 on October 30, 2025. This significant decline reflects a challenging year for the company, with a staggering 1-year performance drop of 80.77%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 18.13% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at approximately USD 971 million, and it currently operates without a dividend yield. Sweetgreen's financial metrics indicate a negative return on equity of -21.40% and a concerning debt-equity ratio of -0.30. The price-to-book ratio is recorded at 2.29, suggesting potential valuation concerns.

In recent months, Sweetgreen has faced rising raw material costs, which 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 Sweetgreen's underperformance, both in the short and long term, as it struggles to regain footing in a competitive market.
