What are Wall Street analysts saying about Chipotle Mexican Grill stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Chipotle Mexican Grill stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Chipotle have outperformed the industry over the past year. We expect the company to remain on this growth trajectory after its second-quarter 2018 earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Adjusted earnings grew 23.7% from the year-ago quarter, driven by higher revenues and lower food costs. Despite having a good share of negative publicity from a food-borne illness, Chipotle’s viable business strategy and the appointment of Brian Niccol have significantly helped its second-quarter earnings. Quarterly revenues increased 8.3% year over year in the second quarter, attributable to the improvement in comps and restaurant openings. Chipotle's increased focus on food safety and enhancing customer experience, along with various sales-building and strategic initiatives, are likely to drive the top line while high costs and intense competition may be concerning in the future." (7/30/2018)

Maxim Group analysts commented, "We maintain our Buy rating and $410 price target on Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) following news that the company’s chief marketing officer, Mark Crumpacker, is exiting the company effective today.
