Sweetgreen Inc. posted a second consecutive quarter of disappointing results, reporting fiscal second-quarter revenue of $185.6 million—about $7 million short of analyst expectations—and an adjusted loss of $0.20 a share. Comparable sales fell 7.6% from a year earlier and adjusted EBITDA slid to $6.4 million, yielding a 3.5% margin. Loss from operations widened to $26.4 million. Facing weaker traffic and pressure on budget-sensitive diners, the salad chain cut its 2025 outlook. Management now expects full-year revenue of $700 million to $715 million and a same-store sales decline of 6% to 4%, compared with previous market expectations of roughly a 1% drop. The company still plans at least 40 net new restaurants this year, half of which will feature its automated “Infinite Kitchen” technology. The sharper guidance reduction and traffic slowdown extended a steep share-price retreat; Sweetgreen stock is down about 79% from its late-November peak as investors question the brand’s ability to revive growth amid a tougher spending environment.
