Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) are soaring after the company reported better-than-expected first quarter earnings. The restaurant chain posted revenue of $2.7 billion, in line with expectations of $2.67 billion. Additionally, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $13.37, outperforming analysts' projections of $11.66. Same-store sales grew 7%, better than the 5.13% estimate. Placer.ai Head of Analytical Research R.J. Hottovy joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the results. Hottovy attributes the company's strong performance to factors such as product innovation, robust traffic, and operating margin improvements throughout the quarter. He notes that this top-line revenue trend could continue into the second quarter, stating, "not every restaurant operator can say that in this environment." Hottovy also highlights Chipotle's efficient system, which resonates well with consumers. He points out that even when lines are long at Chipotle, customers are willing to wait "because they know they can get through that quickly," a characteristic that is not sector-wide. Lastly, Hottovy emphasizes that Chipotle — from a valuation perspective— still has ample growth opportunities, "particularly in smaller markets."
