Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock: Is CMG Underperforming the Consumer Cyclical Sector?

With a market cap of $49.6 billion, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG) is a fast-casual restaurant company that owns and operates Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants. The company sells Mexican-inspired food and beverages, including burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, tacos, salads, kids’ meals, chips, and sides. 

Companies valued more than $10 billion are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and Chipotle fits this criterion perfectly. Chipotle emphasizes responsibly sourced ingredients, offering meats such as chicken, beef, and pork under its “Responsibly Raised” brand, and provides digital ordering through its website, mobile app, and third-party delivery platforms.
