Alternative ways to invest in Chipotle Mexican Grill

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Chipotle Mexican Grill), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Chipotle Mexican Grill under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Chipotle Mexican Grill P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 58x. In other words, Chipotle Mexican Grill's shares trade at around 58x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

However, Chipotle Mexican Grill's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.7038. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Chipotle Mexican Grill's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Chipotle Mexican Grill's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $0 billion (£0 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Chipotle Mexican Grill's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
