Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) has struggled in 2025. Its shares have lost 35% year-to-date as the firm has continually struggled with disappointing same-store sales. Cramer has discussed Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) several times this year. He believes that high prices are one reason behind the firm’s woes. In fact, Cramer has gone as far as to point to a specific price point that could be contributing to Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)’s woes. According to him, the fact that the firm’s meals are priced at $15 is pushing value-conscious customers away. Cramer believes that high prices, coupled with delivery prices, drive down the demand for its food. Due to its troubles, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) is now looking to improve its business. Therefore, the firm made it into Cramer’s discussion as he discussed turnarounds with co-host David Faber and co-host Carl Quintanilla asked him whether food companies could also turn their fates around:

“Chipotle very difficult, I think that they’re way, way away.”

However, while Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)’s prices might be high, Cramer recently praised the firm for increasing its portion sizes in tandem with the price hikes:

“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.”
