Chipotle Stock Dips on Soft 2026 Outlook Despite Q4 Beat
TL;DR Summary
Chipotle beat Q4’25 on EPS ($0.25 vs. $0.24) and revenue ($2.98B vs. $2.96B) but gave a weak 2026 outlook with flat same-store sales and a fourth straight quarter of declining traffic, signaling ongoing demand weakness as discretionary spending softens; the stock fell as much as 8% after the guidance, while management added menu items but avoided discounting; analysts remain bullish with a Strong Buy consensus and a target around $46.65 (about 19% upside).
