CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL, Inc. (CMG-B)

I've eaten at this restaurant numerous times over the past few years and the lines at lunchtime have not declined at all. It looks like this popular eatery is here to stay.

It will be interesting to see how the merger of class A and B into a single common stock will play out.

growth using fcf. no debt. good cash balance. company owned stores. no franchise.

I've eaten at this place and althought the food was good I can't imagine this stock climb will continue and I also think eating Mexican food has peaked.

Too far to fast. P/E over 30.

A great stock just way overbought.

Short margin growing.

Great growth story in the restaurant industry. This stock will be a multi-bagger from here. Also, outstanding management team that understands how to allocate capital and build a successful restaurant chain.

CMG is a great company with a great product. Ahead of its time with focus on organics and natural foods in a value setting. Trend is moving in their favor and as more people discover Food with Integrity it will drive continued growth.

Healthy Balance Sheet

good company serving what people want to eat, but I must confess the reason I marked it outperform today of all days is that it rebounded from a big selloff while the rest of the market sank today (Dow down about 200 points). So this outperform is mostly based on chart strength - but a chart that represents a company with strong experienced management that knows how to manage margins and grow the company.

The other great option in the restaurant space (BWLD is the other, IMHO). They are fast, great tasting, and inexpensive. They are stellar in sustainable business practices and offer extremely high-quality ingredients. They have even assisted some of their organic suppliers with infrastructure so everyone wins. They are winning by changing the rules.

Up and down the East Coast, I've been seeing these everywhere. Contrary to the other taco guys (Qdoba, California Tortilla, etc.), they always have customers. Price was cheaper than Qdoba too, last time I went.

Quick service and high quality, tasty food. Excellent customer service and busy even during the economic downturn. My family and I recently ate a couple of times at the Clearwater, Florida store and were very impressed. I am glad to be a partial owner in this company.

Food is great and consistent. Menu is simple. Service is fast. The B-shares should eventually catch up to CMG.

The food is fantastic. The price is amazing for the quality. The line goes out the door.

Fear is at its highest right now.
Do you believe that the financial world would end? If so, we will have a lot more to worry about than just CAPs

Locked in a CAPs gain although Chipotle sank 15% in absolute percentage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why I like Chipotle:
1) The stock price and P/E range has come into a more logical level.
2) My valuation shows that CMG should gain between 23% to 27% over the next five years.
3) Chipotle's concept is unique and stresses higher end value which strikes me as niche which customers would pay a premium for.
4) The CEO impressed me with his solid explanation that customers were willing to pay higher price for value food. If margins hold, this is always good.

It's CAPPED!

Small cap that's beaten down.

HG pick, like the internal resturantur program, management, upside after downturn, and a product I like to eat!

Chipotle provides fast, high quality, affordable food that actually may contain some nutrients! I think it will see profits from a price tag-savvy consumer base in the coming year. I also dig any stock that offers up a healthy dose of cilantro.

gotta love good old chipotle mexican grill heading into a repression
