Better Buy: Chipotle vs. Shake Shack
Coronavirus-related restrictions have effectively shut down sit-down establishments. This has left restaurant stocks reeling, as nobody knows when these eateries can return to full service.
However, restaurants can still sell food for off-premise consumption. Moreover, some fast-food and casual dining establishments have long made take-out a staple of their business. Hence, take-out will leave some restaurants in a stronger position while the world works to flatten the curve on coronavirus.
Two examples of such restaurants are Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) and Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK). Since both companies can earn revenue with much of the country sheltered in place, how one stock stands above the other may depend on an individual investor's criteria as much as the company itself.
