Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q2 2025: 68

Restaurant Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)’s shares have struggled in 2025 as the firm fights high prices which have eaten into its same-store sales. The stock has lost 30% year-to-date, with most of its woes originating from a selloff that started in late July. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)’s shares crashed by 13% in July as the firm shocked investors by guiding flat 2025 same store sales growth. Cramer has mentioned that high prices are a reason the firm is struggling with its sales. However, this time he praised Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) for at least increasing its portions with the high prices:

“Like I had Scott Boatwright on last week, Chipotle. You know they had to raise price, but they made it larger. Now it still hurts, because it’s 28 dollars for a chicken burrito when you put in DoorDash, so that’s on the expensive side. But PepsiCo at least, which Chipotle you got more, they made the size bigger because they were criticized.”

Here is what Cramer recently said about Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) and high prices:

“We’ve been talking about which outfits are doing well, we talked about the Ollie’s, and we talked about Dollar General, Chipotle’s not doing well. Chipotle, a lot of people perceive is, just too expensive. And they are offering kind of a group [inaudible] that comes out to be eight dollars a person, but this is, they talk about cyclicality, and they talk about how tough the economy is for their customers, and I think what that really means is that people want the bargain, they want to go Burlington, they want to go to Olive Garden, and they’re not, Chipotle doesn’t have the sales, they have negative sales.

“But anyway, I just think that, we are stuck with two economies. And its economy says, listen, I’m not gonna pay 18 dollars plus ten dollars DoorDash, 28 dollars, for a burrito bowl. But you know what, I’ll take the five dollar McDonald’s value.”
