Sweetgreen, Inc. Hits New 52-Week Low at $6.71 Amidst Financial Struggles

Sweetgreen, Inc., a microcap player in the Leisure Services industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 6.71 on October 29, 2025. This significant decline marks a stark contrast to its 52-week high of USD 45.12, reflecting a challenging year for the company, with a staggering 1-year performance drop of 78.71%.
The company's market capitalization stands at approximately USD 971 million, and it currently operates without a dividend yield, indicating a focus on reinvestment rather than shareholder returns. Sweetgreen's financial metrics reveal a negative return on equity of -21.40% and a debt-equity ratio of -0.30, suggesting a precarious financial position.

Additionally, the company has faced rising raw material costs, which increased by 33.74% year-over-year, further straining its profitability. Promoter confidence appears to be waning, as evidenced by a 4.54% reduction in their stake over the previous quarter. This combination of factors has contributed to Sweetgreen's below-par performance, both in the near term and over the long term, as it continues to struggle against the backdrop of a rising S&P 500.
