- CAVA: 3 shares at 57.38, now 57.79 (0.71%), stop 55.9, target 61.5, intraday horizon, opened 2:53 PM ET. Thesis: CAVA reported Q3 earnings on Nov 4 (T1 SEC 8-K). The stock opened at 53.51, formed a range up to 57.44, and broke out to 57.30 on 4x median volume. This is a classic earnings-momentum breakout. The move is supported by a fundamental catalyst (earnings). Entry at 57.30. Stop at 55.90 (below VWAP 55.67 and the 50% retracement of the opening range expansion). Target 61.50 (approx 1:1.5 R:R). Horizon is intraday as per rules for regular session. Invalidation: Price closes below 55.90 (stop) or reclaims below 57.06 (OR high) with volume drying up.
