Sweetgreen, Inc.
Here’s whether Sweetgreen, Inc. (SG) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); RSI 64 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-6.26% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -22.2%; 3-month momentum negative (-28.5%). Currently 34.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
SG is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($6.76) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($7.23), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 63.6 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -22.2% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 42.6%). The current 34.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
