I'd Buy More Chipotle Mexican Grill Before the Market Figures Out What It's Missing

Chipotle Mexican Grill's stock has declined 36% over the past year due to sluggish sales growth and rising costs, but the author argues this presents a buying opportunity. With the P/E ratio compressed from 45 to 31 and improved valuation metrics, the stock could rebound once economic pressures ease and consumer spending recovers. The slowdown appears cyclical rather than company-specific, with increased restaurant visits suggesting continued customer interest.
