Market view · as of Sep 28, 2026
Price (last ~year)
Chipotle shares have fallen sharply — down 15.8% over the past month and 26.0% below their 52-week high — even as the company beat estimates in all four of its last quarters, including Q2 EPS of $0.33 versus $0.32 expected. Fundamentals show a split: revenue grew 9.3% year over year to $12.42B TTM with sequential quarterly revenue climbing to $3.35B, but earnings declined 1.3% over the same period. The stock trades at a 29.01 P/E with an RSI of 14, well below its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, while quality metrics remain strong (ROE 49.6%, operating margin 16.1%) and leverage is moderate at 2.4x debt/EBITDA. Sector pressure from weak August restaurant traffic data has weighed on fast-casual names, and the board's addition of former KFC chief Sabir Sami comes amid lingering fair-value questions.
