Thread regarding Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG)

I’m starting to wonder if Chipotle can turn things around anytime soon. The stock tanked after they cut their outlook, and the reasons don’t sound like something that’ll fix itself fast, including higher costs, weaker demand, and margins getting squeezed. Even younger customers seem to be pulling back, which is a bad sign. Inflation’s still hanging around too, so profits might stay under pressure. I like the brand and what it stands for, but that might not be enough this time. Feels like these problems could stick around, maybe even get worse before they get better.
