CMG reshapes its pricing playbook, leaning on slower, phased increases as inflation builds and value protection takes center stage.
Chipotle faced a challenging 16 months, marked by a PR crisis, CEO transition, and lagging same-store growth. CMG's recent results show deteriorating margins and weak comparable sales, with 2025 guidance now expecting a decline. Management is increasing marketing and menu innovation but resists value meal discounts, aiming to preserve brand positioning.
Chipotle (CMG) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.
