Salad and Go is quitting Texas and Oklahoma — and closing its last 32 stores

Salad and Go said on Wednesday it will close all remaining restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma, pulling the drive-thru salad chain out of two states that had become its main growth markets outside Arizona. The move lands as the company tries to reset after a rapid buildout and then a first wave of closures announced in September.

  • AMD Trades at 54.08 Forward P/E, Well Above Sector and Peers as Growth Picture Stays Mixed
    July 3, 2026, 3:17 PM EDT. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is trading at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 54.08, much higher than the Zacks Computer & Technology sector's 23.18 average, with rivals NVIDIA at 18.9 and Broadcom at 21.57. Shares have jumped 142.2% so far this year, beating out the sector's 14.6% rise but still trailing Intel's 226.6% rally. Growth gets a lift from strong demand for data center chips, but the company faces weaker gaming sales, supply limits, and tough competition from NVIDIA and Intel. Consensus earnings for 2026 hold steady at $7.18 a share, which would be up 72.2% from 2025. Margins could take a hit as AI accelerators-typically lower margin-make up more of the product mix. With competition rising and mixed signals across business lines, investors may debate whether AMD's valuation premium can last.
