June 15 (Reuters) - Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava Group (CAVA.N) notched a valuation of $4.7 billion in a stellar market debut on Thursday, signaling the IPO market was gaining momentum after a lull in 2022. Shares opened at $42 apiece on the NYSE, nearly double the IPO price of $22, last up 89%. Cava sold about 14.4 million shares in the offering, raising $318 million. “We think the markets are always welcoming long-term sustainable growth stories, especially category defining brands, as we try and define the Mediterranean category,” Cava Co-founder and CEO Brett Schulman said. Cava was founded by three friends with Greek roots — Ted Xenohristos, Ike Grigoropoulos and Dimitri Moshovitis — and opened its first restaurant Cava Mezze in Rockville in 2006.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday explained four different schools of thought in examining the mixed messages they took from Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting. Cramer noted that the first camp of buyers believe the Fed's bark is worse than its bite and don't think it will end up hiking rates to the point of recession. These buyers, according to Cramer, are investing in industrial companies that do well in a bustling economy. Cramer believes these buyers would be wise to invest in Big Pharma because the industry is "more or less recession-proof." "When you put these four, often contradictory, groups of buyers together, you can get a magnificent run across the board like we had today," Cramer said.

As Cava prepares to make its public market debut Thursday, other restaurant companies will be watching closely while they decide whether to follow in the Mediterranean restaurant chain's footsteps. The last 18 months have marked the slowest initial public offering market since the financial crisis. Cava's IPO could help break that drought, as a handful of restaurants watch to see how the chain fares as they mull whether to jump into the public market themselves. "A successful IPO from Cava should open the door to more restaurant IPOs," said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at Renaissance Capital. That bodes well for the restaurant companies waiting in the wings to go public.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday gave investors his take on Cava, the popular fast-casual Mediterranean chain that's expected to go public this week. "And, please, if you do want to buy Cava in the aftermarket, I'm begging you, please use limit orders, not market orders, protect yourself. In fact, you should always be using limit orders, because you have no control over the price you pay with market orders." Cramer said he expects underwriters to underprice Cava shares at first in order to engineer "a nice first-day pop." Cramer also warned investors about the pitfalls of the IPO market in general, with most following a similar cycle.
