The Company develops and operates fast casual, fresh Mexican food restaurants serving burritos, tacos, bowls and salads.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

I was curious about what this price is giving us in terms of growth. My assumptions are listed below.

Current Price of CMG.B = $63.00/share
1. TTM revenues = $1,221,422,000
2. Previous 5YR Revenue CAGR = 39.07%
3 TTM Revenues in 3YRS using a more conservative 20% revenue growth
compared to the 39...More

The current economic climate is forcing a series of changes in the spending habits of today's shoppers (like, duh!).

Casual dining, fast food, and restaurant dining are all going to suffer. People can't afford to put down $10+ per person for food, and even the $5+ for eati...More

It only has around 950 stores and will see lots of profitable growth in the years ahead. It's now worth paying up for this brand at only 16 times earnings.

Recs 0 (CMG-B) tklong (< 20) Submitted: 10/30/08 2:45 AM : Start Price: $47.99 CMG-B Score: -4.68 Chipotle is the popular new restaurant that isn't growing too much too fast. By playing it safe, they leave the customery always wanting more, they understand the dynamics of supply and demand. The company added 125 new restaurants this year, moderate growth for the popular, national, healthy fast-food alternative. Chipotle boasts of their safe organic veggies and their happy and humanly raised stock animals. In addition to their new locations, they have finally added chicken to their menu, free range of course. With more people conscious of animal rights, this company finally makes the consumer feel confortable eating cheap/moderate priced fast food meats. This company has nowhere to go but up, as long as they take it easy and continue to grow with demand and not drown themselves before they learn to swim this company will be giving fast food giants a run for their money.

Recs 0 (CMG-B) MJKpayday (26.45) Submitted: 10/29/08 11:32 AM : Start Price: $36.50 CMG-B Score: 11.75 If I were to put my money where my mouth is I would have 99% of my portfolio invested in Chipotle. There aren't many companies I can say this about, but I will about Chipotle. I actually wouldn't feel that uncomfortable placing 100% of my capital (still wouldn't do it, but...) in Chipotle, giving it 5-10 years without checking the ticker and feel quite comfortable that I'd have market beating returns. I'll even go out on a limb and say 5 years from now I'll have better than a 1 bagger and in 10 years, better than a 3 baggar. They have an inspiring leader, former McD's management, a beautiful balance sheet, tremendous revenue/profit growth, and a cult like following (I should know I am one of them).
