CMG Stock Recent News

During every Coach's Challenge, Chipotle will challenge fans to find a hidden keyword in a post on X for the chance to win a free entree* In response to basketball fans' frustration with lengthy replay reviews, "Chipotle Instant Freeplays" keeps the momentum going even when the game comes to a halt NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. , June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced a new promotion called "Chipotle Instant Freeplays" ahead of the 2025 men's professional basketball championship series.

It might seem like a strange comparison to pit Apple (AAPL 0.76%) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG 0.91%) against each other, but these are two companies that are very popular among investors. While both face certain headwinds from things like tariffs and a bit of consumer uncertainty, I'm going to throw a real zinger out there, and call Chipotle the better investment at this time.

During the recent market volatility caused by President Trump's rollout of trade tariffs, many investors are now faced with a significant question for their portfolios. This question seeks to identify capital in the right places and situations, which may be synonymous with quality stocks trading at a sufficient discount to allow for reasonable safety margins.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) concluded the recent trading session at $49.73, signifying a -0.68% move from its prior day's close.

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?

Chipotle (CMG) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.

CMG has proven its mettle through its excellent organic growth strategy, as observed in the inherent lack of debt, growing owned restaurants, and richer profit margins. This is also why investors' focus should be on its growing cash flow investing story as a performance metric, aside from the maturing adj EPS growth profile. If anything, readers must not fret about CMG's negative comparable sales performance in FQ1'25 and the lowered FY2025 guidance, since it is likely to be temporary.

CAVA shines with soaring comps, strong traffic and rising estimates, while CMG faces inflation, soft sales and downward earnings revisions.
