CoreWeave Surged, Cava Jumps, Wendy's Gains

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market, a look at the notable movers:
On this episode of Stock Movers:

- CoreWeave (CRWV) surged after the AI spending frenzy spurred faster sales growth than anticipated, with sales expected to be $3.45 billion to $3.6 billion in the third quarter. The firm's backlog was $104 billion at the end of the quarter, and it inked more than $25 billion in new customer commitments after the period ended, suggesting that “AI demand remains strong”. CoreWeave raised its revenue outlook to a range of $12.4 billion to $13.2 billion for the full year, and its shares soared as much as 23% to $111.05 after markets opened in New York on Wednesday.

- Cava Group (CAVA) sales rose faster than expected due to increased traffic and customers buying higher-priced proteins and extras such as pita chips. Sales slowed at the end of the second quarter due to reports of a parasitic outbreak, but trends have since improved each week with comparable sales back to mid-single-digit growth.

-Wendy’s (WEN) shares jump as much as 13% after a Financial Times report that Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management is laying the groundwork for a take-private bid for the US fast-food chain, with backing from a consortium of investors including BlueFive Capital.
