    Heading into Chipotle's (CMG -1.8%) release of Q3 earnings, Tiburon Research Group backs the name for a solid earnings beat. The firm sees EPS of $2.39, beating estimates by a dime and has Q4 EPS lined up at $2.23. Chipotle's top-line deceleration has overshadowed what's been solid restaurant margin gains.

  • I believe the margin gains have been on account of price increases.. which frankly have little if any room left to grow.

    Olive Garden is running a buy one dinner and take one home for free!

    time to start cutting prices if you want to have customers is now the name of the game with $4+ gas in the northeast at least.

  • I'll bet you a six pack that they miss your $2.39 and the Street's $2.30.

    You are low on food cost, other operating expense and G&A but you look good on revenue.

    $2.12 is more like it.

  • Other operating expense not as bad as I feared. New units worse.

    Now look for year-end selling. No fund manager wants his holders to know he was Einhorned.
