Chipotle (CMG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Chipotle Mexican Grill has experienced a significant improvement in its restaurant-level operating margin, which rose to 26.7% in 2024 from 20.5% in 2019, indicating enhanced operational efficiency. The company is projected to see a robust increase in digital sales, estimated at approximately $4.3 billion in 2025, constituting around 36% of total sales, driven by a strong loyalty program and advanced fulfillment options. Growth is expected to continue with the catering segment and the anticipated impact of new menu offerings, catering to evolving consumer preferences and expanding into new markets both in North America and Europe.
Bears say
Chipotle Mexican Grill's stock has experienced a 32% decline over the past year, reflecting broader cyclical pressures that may not yet be fully reflected in the share price. The company faces anticipated restaurant-level margin declines of 185 basis points in 4Q25, largely driven by rising food and beverage costs, particularly related to premium offerings and higher beef prices, along with ongoing labor expenses due to wage inflation. Furthermore, Chipotle has revised its full-year same-store sales growth forecast to negative, indicating persistent challenges that may weigh on its financial performance into 2026.
