Chipotle Stock Tumbles on Third Forecast Cut — Can the Burrito Chain Bounce Back?

Chipotle Stock Craters After Tepid Q3 Earnings – What’s Next for CMG?

Disappointing Q3 & Guidance Trim Drag Shares Chipotle’s official earnings release confirmed a mixed quarter. Revenue rose to $3.0 billion (+7.5% YoY) but narrowly missed expectations (~$3.03 billion), as comp sales growth (0.3%) failed to offset weaker trafficts2.techir.chipotle.com. EPS came in at $0.29 (GAAP and adjusted), beating last year’s $0.28ir.chipotle.com but just matching analysts’ consensusmarketbeat.com. The report noted softer transactions – partly self-inflicted and largely driven by budget-conscious consumers – among households earning <$100k (40% of Chipotle’s sales) and 25–35-year-olds. CEO Scott Boatwright acknowledged “a massive pullback of our core audience,” saying “we’re not losing [those customers] to competition, we’re losing them

Chipotle Stock Tumbles on Third Forecast Cut — Can the Burrito Chain Bounce Back?

Chipotle Stock Tumbles on Third Forecast Cut — Can the Burrito Chain Bounce Back?

Chipotle’s Recent Stock Movement Chipotle’s shares have drifted lower through October. After opening the month near $42–43, the stock slipped amid broader market volatility and lingering doubts about consumer spending. By Oct. 29, CMG traded around $40.40stockanalysis.com, a level not seen since mid-summer. As TS2.Tech notes, the stock has now fallen about 31% since Januaryts2.tech, underperforming the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

Olive Garden ‘Holiday Shutdown’ Hoax Debunked – Shocking Thanksgiving 2025 Weather Forecast Revealed

Olive Garden ‘Holiday Shutdown’ Hoax Debunked – Shocking Thanksgiving 2025 Weather Forecast Revealed

Rumors vs. Reality at Olive Garden On social media and clickbait sites (notably a Sun tabloid story), claims circulated that Olive Garden would “close all 900 of its restaurants” on Thanksgiving and Christmas calcoasttimes.com.

Mexican Dining Crisis: Beloved Chains File Bankruptcy and Close Doors as Industry Hits Breaking Point

Mexican Dining Crisis: Beloved Chains File Bankruptcy and Close Doors as Industry Hits Breaking Point

In summary, a squeeze on mid-tier Mexican chains is underway: beloved sit-down restaurants are shuttering locations or reorganizing under bankruptcy, even as fast-casual Mexican concepts (like Chipotle) remain popular. Oversupply of similar full-service concepts, plus inflation and labor costs, have forced chains like Abuelo’s to downsize dramatically ibtimes.co.uk calcoasttimes.com.

On the bright side, overall demand for dining out is not collapsing (Sysco reports only a ~1% dip in traffic industry-wide ts2.tech), and consumer surveys show that most people still enjoy eating at restaurants restaurant.org.
