UBS lowered the firm’s price target on Sweetgreen (SG) to $35 from $45 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm thinks Sweetgreen remains a compelling long-term growth story, despite near-term headwinds pressured Q1 trends, with multiple initiatives in place to reaccelerate same-store sales and drive shares higher over the coming quarters, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
