CMG vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
Steve Ells, Founder, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads... More

- Wednesday, April 3, 9:52 AM Raymond James is doing wonders for the restaurant sector with a number of upgrades that are helping light a fire under shares. Lower commodity prices and indications of a bounce in QSR spending look good enough to the firm for it to take its foot off the brakes. Upgrades: Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD +3.5%) to Strong Buy from Market Perform; Panera Bread (PNRA +3.9%) to Market Perform; Chipotle (CMG +1.2%) to Market Perform from Underperform; Brinker International (EAT +2.6%) to Outperform from Market Perform. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 25, 2:30 PM Restaurant blues: The consensus estimate of economists for consumer spending growth in February is for a 0.6% gain after the measure rose 0.2% in January but don't expect restaurants to report strong numbers for Q1. Inside tracking and guidance warnings from key companies indicate that the sector is feeling the pressure of higher payroll taxes. Major chains also face a tough period of comparable with last year's winter much milder on average in the U.S. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 8:36 AM Good news for Chipotle (CMG)? Though producer prices rose 0.7% in February, fresh and dry vegetables were a notable decliner for the month. Commodity costs have been a bit of a concern for the restaurant operator heading into the year, so any relief - even if temporary - will be welcomed. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 11:39 AM Heard during Chipotle's (CMG +0.9%) presentation at the Raymond James Institutional Investors Conference: 1) The company sees flat to low single digit sales growth for comparable restaurants in 2013. 2) Store growth for the year is pegged at 165-180. 3) On pricing, Chipotle is open to raising prices mid-year as it believes it has built up pricing power due to the power of its brand. 4) A powerful slide from execs highlights that both restaurant-level and company-level margins improved last year to reach their highest level ever. (webcast) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 8:50 AM The restaurant sector is on watch after a pre-earnings warning from Darden Restaurants (DRI) and a harsh downgrade on Wendy's (WEN) sets a negative tone. The picture being painted for 2013 is starting to get pretty consistent - margin pain and soft traffic trends. Other things to watch in 2013 for the sector: 1) The impact of higher payroll taxes. 2) The coming costs of the Affordable Care Act. 3) The push to raise the minimum wage. 4) Which chains can succeed in China and India? 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 10:30 AM Restaurants could feel a pinch from U.S. consumers pressured by higher payroll taxes and gas prices, writes Chris Versace, echoing a recurring theme. Stocks which look especially vulnerable due to the macroeconomic trend include Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (RRGB -2%), Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD -1.5%), Darden (DRI +0.6%), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE +0.5%), and Chipotle (CMG -0.5%). Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:14 AM Margin pain on the horizon: Restaurants could get squeezed this year from a combination of higher commodity costs and frugal consumers, according to AlixPartners. Though traffic is forecast to rise 3%, the average ticket is expected to decline 4.7% with coupons, promotions, and discounts gaining favor. Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 6, 2:34 PM Shares of Chipotle (CMG +4.9%) trade at their highest level of the year despite guidance from the company which indicates the former growth high-flyer expects same-restaurant sales to pick up at low single digit pace in 2013. The bullish sentiment appears to be tied in part to the price hikes which the company plans on passing on to consumers at some point this year in order to offset food input costs. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 6, 7:35 AM Bernstein defends Outperform-rated Chipotle (CMG) in the wake of the company's Q4 earnings report. The firm reasons Chipotle's price hikes and marketing initiatives will generate stronger sales growth than what was seen in the last quarter. On its earnings call (transcript), Chipotle execs highlighted the new marketing plans which include billboards and radio spends as well as a push to promote the restaurant operator's catering services. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 5, 4:11 PM More on Chipotle's (CMG) Q4: Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.8% Y/Y for the period as the restaurant operator puts in another quarter of subdued growth. Chipotle added 60 new restaurants to brings its total restaurant count to 1,410. Looking forward, flat to low single digit comparable restaurant sales growth is forecast for 2013. CMG +4.2% AH. (PR) 3 Comments [Earnings, Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 5, 4:06 PM Chipotle (CMG): Q4 EPS of $1.95 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $699.2M (+17.2% Y/Y) in-line. Shares +4.1% AH (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, February 5, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Tuesday’s close: AFL, BNNY, BV, CBL, CERN, CHRW, CME, CMG, DIS, ENTR, EQR, EXPE, FISV, GLUU, GNW, GTAT, HAIN, HRZN, INFN, JIVE, KFN, KIM, LNC, MWA, MYGN, NLY, NSR, PACB, PNRA, SFLY, SIMG, SU, THOR, TRMB, TTWO, UNM, USNA, ZNGA 1 Comment [Earnings]
- Monday, February 4, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Tuesday’s close: AFL, BNNY, BV, CBL, CERN, CHRW, CME, CMG, DIS, ENTR, EQR, EXPE, FISV, GLUU, GNW, GTAT, HAIN, HRZN, INFN, JIVE, KFN, KIM, LNC, MWA, MYGN, NLY, NSR, PACB, PNRA, SFLY, SIMG, SU, THOR, TRMB, TTWO, UNM, USNA, ZNGA Comment! [Earnings]
- Tuesday, January 29, 10:51 AM A plan by Chipotle (CMG -0.9%) to move into becoming a lifestyle brand smacks of desperation to some caustic retail analysts. Though the company wants to create brand loyalty through a line of items that will try to mimic the success of Harley-Davidson's foray into clothing, the question of whether or not sustainability hoodies is really a category that will pump up significant revenue is a pretty good one. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, January 28, 8:24 AM Chipotle (CMG) catches an upgrade from Lazard Capital to Buy from Neutral. A lush new price target from the firm of $388 implies 28% upside for shares and should add a little support heading into the restaurant's operator's earnings report. CMG +1.8% premarket to $308.90. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, January 25, 12:14 PM We're in the 4th phase of a bull market, Laszlo Birinyi tells the FastMoney gang, and it's typically the strongest phase and lasts nearly a year. Don't forget animal spirits, he says, noting CMG, TIF, ISRG all warned, all got hammered, and all recovered. The sudden flows into stock funds? "I don't subscribe to the theory that the retail investor is the last one in." 7 Comments
