  • Guzman y Gomez Exits US Market, Shares Jump Amid US Business Losses
    May 21, 2026, 9:50 PM EDT. Australian burrito chain Guzman y Gomez Ltd. announced it is closing its Chicago outlets and exiting the US market due to insufficient sales, triggering a share price surge of up to 21% in Sydney trading. Founder and Co-CEO Steven Marks cited the US business's inability to justify further shareholder investment. Analysts from RBC Capital Markets and Citi praised the decision as it removes ongoing losses that weighed down earnings. The company will take a one-time charge between $30 million and $40 million but expects its Australian operations to deliver underlying earnings of approximately A$85 million ($61 million), a 29% year-on-year increase. Morgan Stanley analysts expect a 10% improvement in earnings guidance next year following the US exit, refocusing Guzman y Gomez's growth strategy on its domestic market.
