Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) stock is down 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 short of the $3.03 billion consensus estimate.
Chipotle expects its full-year same-store sales to shrink by a low-single digit percentage in 2025, a significant change from earlier projections of low- to mid-single digit growth.
Management said they are seeing "consistent macroeconomic pressures."
