Andrew Strelzik has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Chipotle’s stock presents an attractive long-term investment opportunity. Despite recent challenges, including lowered 2025 comparable sales guidance and increased margin pressures, Strelzik believes these issues are largely influenced by macroeconomic conditions and have already been factored into the stock’s current price.
Strelzik is optimistic about Chipotle’s strategic initiatives, such as their “Recipe for Growth” approach which aims to enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement through innovations in marketing and digital platforms. Additionally, the company’s focus on expanding its store base in the U.S. and potential for comp growth acceleration through 2026 supports a positive outlook. Overall, these elements contribute to Strelzik’s view that Chipotle’s shares offer a compelling entry point for investors looking for growth potential.
