TL;DR. Chipotle reported Q2 revenue growth of 9.3% to $3.3B with comp sales of 2.2% including a 1.0% transaction comp, and raised full-year 2026 comp guidance to the low single-digit range, though restaurant-level margin compressed 220 bps to 25.2% and Q3 trends were pressured by an estimated ~200 bps cyclospora industry headwind.

  • Food, beverage & packaging costs rose to 29.7% (+80 bps YoY) on beef, freight, and higher protein/produce usage

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
