CAVA just dropped ~10% after earnings on slowing same‑store sales and lowered guidance — despite beating on EPS and revenue. Is this a real opportunity or a classic falling knife? I break down the narrative, run a quick DCF vs PEG, and share my buy zones.

What happened: EPS/rev beat, but growth narrative cracked on SSS slowdown and guidance trim.

Numbers that matter: 398 stores, ~$954.3M TTM revenue, margin context, and why a 3% SSS delta can hit operating earnings double‑digits.

Valuation check: DCF base vs narrative case ($56.89 → ~$47.22), PEG cross‑check (~$58.75), current price context (~$84.50).

Buy levels I’m watching and what would change my mind.

Risk lens: What could go right (traffic/mix/unit growth) vs wrong (promo intensity, cost creep, comp deceleration).

Cardinal Health (CAH) just dropped over 7% after Q4 FY2025 results and a $1.9B Solaris Health acquisition. Is this a falling knife… or a setup for a smarter entry? In this episode, we break down the revenue miss, thin 3.53% gross margins, financing risk, DCF and PEG valuations, and my buy levels based on a net −6.5% near-term earnings impact.

Key points:

EPS/guidance up, but revenue miss + deal financing weigh on near-term earnings.

Thin gross margins amplify small revenue misses.

Staggered buy levels for better margin of safety.
