Why is Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) Losing Value

Chipotle Mexican Grill , Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is trading in the red after stock analysis firm Mizuho downgraded the burrito company’s shares to underperform from neutral. The firm said in its report that Chipotle should be avoided until CEO Brian Niccol outlines a clear strategy for growth.

Mizuho acknowledged that Niccol is the best choice to lead Chipotle. But the firm believes that the lack of catalysts and an over 80% growth in stock value since Niccol’s arrival earlier this year are making Chipotle shares a risky option to buy.

For this year Chipotle Mexican Grill 's revenue will be around 4,84 billion USD. This is according to the average of the analysts' estimates. This is slightly more than 2017's revenue of 4,48 billion USD.
