Chipotle shares disappoint after negative comp sales.

The fast-casual chain reported a second quarter of negative comp sales, its most significant decline since Q2 2020. TTM Revenue growth of 9% was below the trailing 12Q average of 14%. TTM Profit Margin of 13% was marginally higher than the trailing 12Q average of 12%. Speaking with CNBC, Scott Boatwright, CEO of Chipotle, talked about technology initiatives such as produce slicers and high efficiency equipment package that “includes a dual-sided plancha grill, three-pan rice cooker and a high-capacity fryer,” and cited better Consumer Sentiment, new restaurant offerings, engagement through rewards and expansion of the catering program as key drivers for performance in the second half of 2025. The stock closed at 46.76 on 7/26/25, a level last seen in early 2024. The 50-D and 200-D moving averages for the stock were 55.01 and 42.94, respectively. The stock can test its 200-day moving average level.
