Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) stock has decreased by 18% after the company lowered its same-store sales guidance for the third consecutive quarter.
The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.29, in line with Wall Street's expectations, but fell short of the $3.03 billion consensus estimate.
Chipotle now expects its full-year same-store sales to shrink by a low-single digit percentage in 2025, a significant change from its earlier projection of low- to mid-single digit percentage growth.
Management said they are seeing "consistent macroeconomic pressures."
