Relatively Inexpensive Offerings and a Potential Q2 Recovery
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) is unlikely to cede market share to quick-service restaurants (QSR) because CMG’s prices have remained relatively low, the wealth-management firm wrote.
Further, during the current quarter, CMG’s two-year comparisons are likely to turn positive, Bernstein predicted. Among the positive catalysts likely to bring about the latter scenario are its upcoming marketing plans and its efforts to increase the speed at which its restaurants work, the wealth-management firm believes.
