Why Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock Fell Today


Shares of popular restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) fell on Wednesday after the company reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

In Q3, Chipotle's business was booming. Same-store sales jumped by 6% year over year, helped by transaction growth of 3%. Coupled with opening new locations, overall revenue was up 13% to $2.8 billion. And the growth bolstered the bottom line as well, with adjusted earnings per share increasing by 17%.
