The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG) Misled Investors Regarding the Impact of Customer Dissatisfaction on its Business

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that Chipotle’s portion sizes were inconsistent and left many customers dissatisfied with the Company’s offerings, and in order to address the issue and retain customer loyalty, the Company would have to ensure more generous portion sizes, which would increase cost of sales.

The complaint alleges that on July 24, 2024, Chipotle conducted its Q2 2024 earnings call, acknowledging that portion inconsistency was an issue at Chipotle, and that it had caused customers to feel justifiably unhappy with the Company. To combat the issue, Chipotle said it was “committed to making this investment to reinforce that Chipotle stands for a generous amount of delicious, fresh food at fair prices for every customer, every visit.” However, the Company would incur higher costs of sales in the third quarter of 2024, partially as a result of giving more generous portions. On October 29, 2024, Chipotle held its Q3 2024 earnings call, indicating that the cost of sales had increased from last year.
