Man that sucks, I can buy you a chipotle bowl if it will make things easier for you

Burrito bowl brain Brian

That’s an expensive bowl my bowls only cost 11$?

CEO said 10% of stores were underserving https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chipotle-portion-order-size-bowl-ceo-brian-niccol/

I will eat a burrito bowl in your honor and ask for extra skimpy helpings

I have NEVER gone to a chipotle and walked away thinking I got screwed. If they put too little I ask for more and they do it, except the protein part. Playing devil’s advocate, standardization isn’t bad for consistent portion sizes. However I love the fact that it is different because sometimes I don’t want as much rice or more rice and want the burrito bowl customized. Almost always I get two meals out of one bowl.

Portion size at Chipotle is way too large...that study was bogus. I'd welcome them offering a smaller sized bowl at a 10% discount personally.

You’ll never buy a burrito again, but the bowl is still available

This sucks. When I was looking at its earnings coming up I thought for sure it would hit $60 EOW. It kinda did, technically $59.99, but it was AH. They do a stock split - bullish. Stock goes down. They are doing share repurchase - bullish. Stock goes down. Then the hit piece on portion sizes. How is this a sufficient study? They went to 7 locations in the same damn city. Yes it was a hit piece. Don’t even need to read it (I still did) to know that. There are so many factors that impact this and it felt like stick espionage. Here is where I went wrong in my thesis. They are driving down the price because earnings are going to be great. And they were. It’s funny how media outlets can take one cautionary remark and use it to explain why the stock is still dropping. I heavily debated $55c and then $52c day of earnings and passed. Something still seems off, and I usually don’t grab the falling knife by the handle. So I stayed out. Your play seems to be based on a good earnings and recovery from the BS portion size article and other bullish things the stock is doing. Not wrong, but it just shows how much the market can remain somewhat irrational. The hit piece could actually have been spun as bullish. Holy shit investors chipotle is selling the same burrito bowl with 1/3 less product in it! It’s not different than company layoffs driving a stock price higher. WHEN this recovers it’ll pay great on calls. I just don’t know when that will happen. Sorry for your loss.

That’s the Super Bowl of earnings week. I can’t wait to lose all my money
