Burrito (CMG)
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is expected to release its Q1 earnings report.
Consensus estimates call for EPS to rise 57% YoY to $8.95, sales to grow 16% to $2.34 billion, and comps of +8.6%.
McDonald's (MCD) Q1 earnings beat could be a good sign ahead of CMG's report.
Additionally, CMG may benefit from its fast-casual market and the potential for absorbing higher menu prices. Lower input costs, including dairy prices cooling and meat, poultry, fish, and produce prices lowering, could also boost margins.
