Evercore ISI Reaffirms Their Buy Rating on Chipotle (CMG)We view 2Q comments as somewhat conservative since Honey Chicken could help it overcome Chicken al Pastor (and calendar headwinds from a later Easter). We anticipate accelerating earnings growth into 2H — reaching its typical 40% incremental margin — as food investments are cycled. We are slightly trimming our 2025e EPS but maintaining our $72 target (45x 2026e EPS) and Outperform rating. Slightly trimming our 2025e EPS to reflect a slow start. Following 4Q earnings and our callback with the company, we are slightly trimming our below consensus 1Q25 EPS forecast from $0.29 to $0.28 (+6% YoY; cons. $0.31), and slightly trimming our above-consensus FY2025 EPS from $1.36 to $1.34 (+20% YoY; cons. $1.32). Although January transactions were down 2% — with 400bp of one-time headwinds — we believe that Chipotle can drive traffic growth of flat to slightly positive in 1Q. We
