1 insider bought €43k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest filed 16 Sept 2026.
Cava Group, Inc., classified in the Retail & Commerce sector, is a listed company based in Washington, D.C., United States, founded in 2011. Its insiders report their share dealings to SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, the company's managers filed 64 filings, from 25 insiders.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 5 purchases (2 insiders, €612k) and 26 sales (8 insiders, €4.8M). No amount is published for 10 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. On the buying side, the filings list 2 senior executives among the declarants. At €1.2M, the sale published on 23 January 2026 by Schulman Brett is the largest of the period (0.018% of market cap).
In all, 3 purchases were made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. The last insider purchase was made public on 16 September 2026, 31 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Across the 5,810 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 64 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 6 purchases and 71 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 28 December 2025), the company reported revenue of 1.18 bn USD and net income of 63.7 m USD.

CAVA Group, Inc. is a U.S.-based fast-casual restaurant company focused on Mediterranean cuisine. The company is listed on the NASDAQ market in the United States, and its roots date back to 2011, when the first CAVA restaurant opened in Bethesda, Maryland. CAVA was later formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015, and its headquarters are in Washington, D.C. Its business model is built around company-operated restaurants, with a brand proposition centered on freshness, customization, convenience, and a health-oriented menu that positions the company at the premium end of the limited-service dining market. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1639438/000162828025026077/cava-20250420.htm?utm_source=openai))
From an equity-investor perspective, CAVA sits at the intersection of two durable themes: the continued expansion of fast-casual dining and the consumer shift toward food options perceived as healthier and more ingredient-driven. The menu is anchored by customizable bowls, pitas, salads, dips, and sides, which supports operational repeatability while giving the brand a broad appeal across lunch, dinner, and digital occasions. Management describes CAVA as a category-defining Mediterranean brand with an opportunity that extends beyond the Mediterranean niche into the larger U.S. limited-service restaurant industry and the broader health-and-wellness food space. ([investor.cava.com](https://investor.cava.com/overview/default.aspx?utm_source=openai))
In competitive terms, CAVA operates in a crowded landscape that includes national fast-casual peers, quick-service chains trading upmarket, and other health-focused concepts. Its moat is still developing, but the brand benefits from strong consumer recognition, a differentiated menu architecture, and a format that appears adaptable across new geographies. Recent company disclosures show that CAVA continues to expand its footprint across the United States, with restaurants operating in multiple states and in Washington, D.C., and management has emphasized the portability of the concept as it enters new markets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1639438/000162828026011296/cava-20251228.htm?utm_source=openai))
Recent operating updates point to continued momentum. In 2025, CAVA reported solid revenue growth and additional net restaurant openings, while also highlighting investments in culinary innovation, team member wages, and the underlying guest experience. Management has also signaled a measured approach to pricing for the remainder of 2025, suggesting a willingness to protect traffic and brand affinity rather than push aggressive price increases. For investors, that combination of same-store sales growth, disciplined expansion, and a differentiated brand story remains central to the CAVA thesis.
