AI Insight: SG Financial Trends
Sweetgreen's Q1 2026 net income of $126M is misleading — operating losses deepened to -$34M while operating cash flow deteriorated to -$17M, suggesting a one-time gain masks worsening fundamentals.
• Operating losses widened from -$16M in Q2 2024 to -$48M in Q4 2025 and -$34M in Q1 2026, showing no path to operating profitability.
• Revenue in Q1 2026 ($162M) is essentially flat versus Q1 2025 ($166M), indicating stalled top-line growth year-over-year.
• Operating cash flow turned sharply negative in Q1 2026 (-$17M), the worst reading in the eight-quarter dataset.
• Q1 2026 net income of $126M contrasts with -$34M operating income, implying a large non-operating or one-time item boosted reported earnings.
⚠ Equity rose to $489M in Q1 2026 from $356M — source of the non-operating gain warrants scrutiny for recurrence or dilution risk.
⚠ Cumulative equity erosion of $114M from Q2 2024 to Q4 2025 signals sustained cash burn that one-time items cannot sustainably offset.
⚠ Seasonal Q4 revenue weakness ($155M in Q4 2025 vs. $161M in Q4 2024) suggests same-store trends may be deteriorating year-over-year.
AI Insight: SG Ratio Trends
A massive one-time gain distorts Q1 2026 net metrics while operating losses remain deeply negative, masking no fundamental profitability improvement.
• Operating margin deteriorated sharply from -8.8% in Q2 2024 to -31.0% in Q4 2025, with Q1 2026 only partially recovering to -21.3%.
• Q1 2026 NPM spiked to 77.9% and ROE to 102.9%, driven by a non-operating one-off item unrelated to core business performance.
• ROIC remained deeply negative across all periods, ranging from -13.8% in Q2 2024 to -54.0% in Q4 2025, signaling persistent capital destruction.
• TTM operating margin of -21.5% and ROIC of -29.7% confirm no structural profitability progress over the observed period.
⚠ The Q1 2026 non-operating gain inflating NPM/ROE/ROA must be identified; if non-recurring, core losses remain the operative trend.
⚠ Operating margin worsened sequentially in Q3 and Q4 2025 to -21.0% and -31.0% — watch whether Q1 2026's -21.3% marks a floor or another leg down.
⚠ D/E data is absent across all periods; leverage structure is unobservable, leaving balance sheet risk unquantified.
