Is Chipotle Stock Outperforming the Nasdaq?

With a market cap of $89.9 billion, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG) operates quick-casual Mexican food restaurants. Newport Beach-headquartered Chipotle offers a limited menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls, and salads made with free-range, hormone-free pork, natural chicken, and other meat products cooked using traditional methods. 

Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and Chipotle fits this criterion perfectly. CMG is renowned for its commitment to serving ethically and naturally produced food with integrity, using ingredients that are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and sourced from suppliers who prioritize animal welfare and sustainable farming practices, unlike other American fast-food companies.
