Sweetgreen is trading 6.3% up at $6.61 in pre-market, rebounding after several sharp down days following a sector-wide selloff.
- The move follows a steep slide tied to a nationwide cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak linked to fresh produce, which pressured salad-focused restaurant stocks.
- The outbreak erased much of the company's recent gains as investors reassessed food-safety protocols and potential demand risks.
- Shares are seeing a recovery as the market stabilizes following the initial reaction to the health concerns.
