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, "Chipotle is one of the most popular fast-casual Mexican restaurant chains in the United States. Food-safety issues and high costs associated with U.S. restaurant space are currently the company's headwinds. Shares of Chipotle have underperformed the industry over the past year. Earnings estimates for 2018 have also been revised downward. However, Chipotle’s recovery plan to restore its economic model and customers trust to build sales along with efforts to enhance guest experience have started bearing fruit. Moreover, continued focus on simplifying restaurant operations, new menu items, enhancing digital orders and increased brand marketing should continue driving growth, going forward. Yet, higher costs are expected to hurt margins. Also, a string of new food safety concerns may further thwart performance." (4/10/2018)

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.
