  • Chipotle Stock Forecast 2026-2030: Challenges, Growth, and Market Outlook
    January 20, 2026, 10:06 AM EST. Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) lowered its full-year same-store sales forecast, citing shifts in consumer spending, which led to a nearly 20% stock decline to a 52-week low of $29.75. Shares are down 25.9% over six months, lagging the S&P 500, though Wall Street analysts maintain a bullish stance with an average buy recommendation and an 11% upside target for the next year. The company faces pressures from inflation, high food costs, and rising labor expenses squeezing margins. Comparable sales slowed in 2025 after years of strong growth. Despite leadership changes, Chipotle plans aggressive expansion, opening more than 4,000 locations with digital-enhanced Chipotlanes and global market entries in Mexico, South Korea, and Singapore set for 2026. Investors should weigh robust growth plans against near-term economic headwinds.
