Chipotle (CMG) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Chipotle (CMG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Chipotle Mexican Grill reported systemwide sales of $11.3 billion in 2024, indicating strong market presence and continued growth potential. The company is expected to achieve margin expansion in the second half of 2025, fueled by ongoing pricing power and operational efficiencies, projecting substantial improvement in incremental margins beyond the current 40%. Additionally, Chipotle's upcoming product innovations and optimized delivery mix are anticipated to enhance top-line performance, with significant growth opportunities in the North American market supporting sustained unit growth in the coming years.
Bears say
Chipotle Mexican Grill is experiencing several challenges that contribute to a negative outlook, including a significant decline in same-store sales growth estimates for 2024, which have been lowered across multiple quarters. Additionally, a decline in consumer spending has negatively impacted overall restaurant sales, compounded by ongoing high avocado prices relative to previous years. The timing of the leap year has created further headwinds for year-over-year comparisons, ultimately influencing investor sentiment and resulting in a modest underperformance in new restaurant openings relative to growth guidance.
