Heading into Chipotle's recent Q2 2023 report, I remarked that I hoped the share price would fall in response to the report. While I believe Chipotle will perform decently from $2,000/share+ in the decade ahead, a more moderate valuation allows for the buyback program to accelerate free cash flow per share growth. That is, when Chipotle's valuation is lower, its share repurchase program is substantially more impactful, which causes FCF/share to grow more rapidly, which drives share price appreciation.
