Chipotle Goes Partly Solar (CMG)

Chipotle LogoChipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) is trying the solar gimmick, yet this is actually just another step on building upon its social already-respectable image.  This morning the company announced that it is partnering with Houston-based Standard Renewable Energy to install solar panels on about 75 Chipotle restaurants over the next year that will ultimately produce 500 kilowatt hours of electricity.  Chipotle claims that this will make it the largest direct producer of solar energy in the restaurant sector.

Montezuma Visits Chipotle Shareholders (CMG, MCD)

Chipotle_logoChipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) has been one of the greatest spin-off stories around in the restaurant sector this decade.  McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) spun this company off in an IPO back in early 2006 and it took just under two years for this Mexican themed fast food chain stock to rocket from under $50 to over $150 before the valuations just became too great up at those levels.

This week we got to see critical SEC filings showing holdings of many key and influential investors.  Included in these filings were billionaire George Soros, a billionaire whom is loved by some and much less ‘well thought of’ by others over his currency trading history of over his MoveOn.org attempts.  Either way, investors still watch Soros.  These are the holdings of Soros Fund Management LLC as of December 31, 2007.  These were listed as the top holdings and are not at all his entire positions.  Soros Fund Management LLC was listed as having some $2.269 Billion in the total filing, and these positions here only equate to $360+ million, so there are many more positions.  As with all of these holdings, these positions may have changed or been eliminated as of the dates noted.  Here is a summary of his larger positions with a dollar amount provided by Soros as filer and a share count:

  • Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)   $32,000,000;  161,550 shares
  • Auxilium Pharma (NASDAQ: AUXL)   $36,473,000;  1,216,180 shares
  • Bluefly Inc. (NASDAQ: BFLY)   $36,451,000;  48,601,156 shares… an old favorite of his…

Cramer Sends Chipotle South of the Border (CMG)

On tonight’s Thursday SELL BLOCK feature on CNBC’s MAD MONEY, Jim Cramer said the time has come to sell Chipotle (NYSE:CMG) after he’s been behind it for what feels like forever.  Cramer said he loves the food and loves the company, but he can’t like the stock amymore up at $129.00.  He thinks this trading at too high of a multiple and the first hint of a hiccup will generate a big correction.  Even if it runs another $20.00, he’d rather be out.  He acknowledged that the growth rate could go up and that it could outperform, but he’d be out and he has his limits.  "Sell and if it goes lower you can revisit……" but it’s too high.  Shares fell 2% at $126.37 after-hours.

Cramer Pans Financials Again, Then Talks Up Chipotle With Its CFO (CMG)

On tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer said despite a sweet close it isn’t time to celebrate.  In a preservation of capital strategy and cutting losses will generate gains anyway.  He thinks the market will gap up tomorrow and that is a good chance to sell.  The domino effect is many people walking away from homes, and homebuilders are not able to sell their inventory.  Some of the banks and mortgage brokers will fail over these loans and if they look cheap they are not.  The hedge funds and aggressive managers can’t borrow what they thought they could because of forced selling.  He thinks anything mortgage related should be sold into any strength tomorrow.

Jim Cramer wanted to talk about selective bull markets and said the best company he has in the food space is Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG).  He says this is a regional to national story that beat estimates and raised guidance.  He interviewed Chipotle’s CFO on the show:

Cramer asked about food costs being up….. costs are higher and theirs grew 100 basis points, but they have food integrity and solid contracts.  The rest of the P&L statement is very efficient.

Cramer’s concern is on the slowness of the buildout and then changing to rapid growth….. CFO said they are growing based on real estate availability and the quality of managers they can get.  Managers are coming from inside now and they can do better now than earlier.

How do they incentivize managers?  Elite managers are bonused on sales growth above expectations above plan plus they get $10K per group leader that gets turned into a manager.  As far as feeling like a chain….CFO said he doesn’t want it to feel like a chain and they want to personalize the experience.

Cramer noted that the stock hasn’t even seen upgrades after a 12% gain today on the better performance and Cramer said he thinks Chipotle will go up Thursday again.  Shares climbed nearly another 2% to yet another high, above $100.00.

Chipotle Ready To Serve Earnings (CMG)

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) posts earnings after the close today.  The analysts that follow the stock are looking for EPS of $0.45 on revenues of $262.9 million according to First Call.  The estimates for Q3 are $0.46 EPS and $272.4 million.  As a reminder, Chipotle has a history of exceeding earnings estimates and based on its strong performance you can imagine that Wall Street is going to demand another "beat expectations and raise guidance" today.

The stock performance has been amazing.  Shares are within 6% of all-time highs since coming public and are up about 75% over the last year.  Analysts are now mixed on the stock as most Wall Street price targets have been met or exceeded.  On a static basis, options traders are braced for a move of up to $4.60 or so in either direction based on mid-morning prices today. 

A wildcard is of course wholesale food prices, and the spike in avocadoand corn prices are no secret.  It has a secured meat supplyarrangement (or has in the past) so you’ll know where to look today.  It has been a while since Cramer backed the stock, but he definitely increased the cult following in the stock.  The other wildcard is the large short interest since the 4.34 million shares in June that rose a tad to 4.36 million in July.  That is close to 15% of its float and represents more than 10 days average trading volume.  With shares this close to a high and the stock being so leveraged, the shorts could get squeezed hard if this one posts another significant ‘beat and raise’ for the quarter and its outlook.  We’ll know in about 5 hours.
