Nike’s Equity was reduced greatly in 2018 and slightly in 2019. So we believe that it will only continue to decrease a little or remain the same level in next few years. Considering its net income will continue to grow, its ROE will be in the range of 40% and 50%. When calculating the average Plowback ratio, we neglect the data in 2018 due to the special tax rate which we believe will not happen again. To sum up, we forecast that Nike’s sustainable growth ratio will be 28.23% to 33.48 in the next five years.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.

STRONG BRAND WITH CONTINUOUS GROWTH

Over the last 3 years, Chipotle experienced a strong growth

period reflected by top line growth rates of up to 28% (FY2014)

and EBITDA growth rates of up to 30% (FY2014). This growth

was driven by menu price increases as well as organic restaurant

expansions. In addition, Chipotle’s brand has been strengthened

continuously with a focus on fresh ingredients and a sustainable

and transparent supply chain management. Based on this strong

brand development, Chipotle has manifested itself in its unique

position combining high margins as seen in the fast food industry

with a high quality casual dining experience. However, recent e-

coli cases across several restaurants resulted in a significant

drawback in Q4/2015 resulting in a price drop of -23.8% in the

last 3 months. Nevertheless, we still see a continuous growth

potential for the next 3-years period, in particular with

expansion opportunities in Europe and Canada as well as

increasing enhancement of the new restaurant concepts,

ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen and Pizzeria Locale.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Chipotle’s financials support the strategic focus that has been the

center of the business. This success is manifested throughout the

financial statements, which indicate a strong growth momentum

from top to bottom line. Even though these developments were

driven by high over proportional rise of marketing costs, the

profit margins could slightly increase. Comparable Sales rose up

to 16.8% in 2014, the highest value in the industry. A high P/E

ratio compared to its competitors underlines the market

perception of continuous growth and investment opportunities.

CHIPOTLES COMPETITIVE FINANCIAL POSITION

The profitable positioning in between the fast food and the casual

dining industry is reflected in several financial ratios. Stable

EBITDA-Margins of around 20% are comparable to Starbucks’ or

Dominos’ margins, while a high inventory turnover close to 200x

underlines the strategic brand position with fresh and high

quality ingredients similar to Wendy’s business model. In

addition, the negative cash conversion cycle highlights Chipotle’s

good relations to its suppliers, which is key, given the importance

of a stable supplier network as basis for expansion.

CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL – THE BUSINESS

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. opened its first restaurant in Denver, Colorado on July 13, 1993. 1 Their

corporate office is located in Denver Colorado where their first restaurant was opened. Chipotle has a

focused menu that offers tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, and salads.2 However, although they only offer a

selected amount of products Chipotle management explains that given the various ways customers can

create their product, this provides them with a variety of choices. In addition to the Chipotle Mexican Grill

restaurants they also own ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen and Pizzeria Locale. As of December 31,

2014 they owned 1,783 restaurants total, of which 1,755 were Chipotle Mexican Grill establishments, and

they had 53,090 employees.3 Chipotle has implemented what they call “Food with Integrity”, which means

that they only use ingredients that are made in accordance to safe animal practice and crops that are

grown in awareness off the environment. The standards that the company has in place makes it difficult

for them to find suppliers that meet their requirements and hence makes their suppliers a very important

part of their business. Given the higher cost incurred with producing these ingredients, Chipotle has

higher cost for their supplies and ingredients used to produce their products. However, Chipotle has seen

benefits in maintaining their standards regardless of the increased cost associated with them. These

standards have garnered Chipotle with customer loyalty, which is highly sought after in the restaurant

industry.

STRATEGIC HIGHLIGHTS

2015 Strategic goals for Chipotle center around “thoughtful growth of the Chipotle brand”. This includes

a location expansion of 190 to 205 additional Chipotle locations through their broadened development

activity, which now incorporates “smaller or more economically mixed communities, highway sites, outlet

centers, and military bases.” Additionally, this involves a continued expansion in marketing toward

development of “owned media” and production of branded content as a means of demonstrating

Chipotle’s “food with integrity” philosophy. Given this emphasis on growth of the Chipotle brand, CMG is

focused on maintaining its current adaptations of the Chipotle philosophy to other food styles in the form

of ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen and Pizzeria Locale and not pushing any type of rapid

expansion. Additionally, given its limited brand recognition overseas and overall greater risk

internationally, only modest international expansion is planned.

RESTAURANT INDUSTRY – THE PLAYING FIELD

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. takes up a unique position within the restaurant industry. Its business model

combines fast food with the casual dining industry. The restaurant industry is defined by several factors

and success drivers. Most fast food restaurants franchise their restaurant due to funding or location-

picking. Chipotle owns all their restaurants, as rather usual for casual dining restaurants, to stay in control

and maintain its image. Another current issue are the increasing wages and thus labor costs within the

industry. A trend of retaining employees has begun. In addition, pressure to serve higher quality of food

has increased costs and caused many fast food chains to start closing locations. The growing trend to eat

healthy and gain information about the origin and quality of ingredients has hurt firms which don’t have

the build-your-own model allowing customer to customize their food. One, if not the biggest selling point

of the fast food industry, is to satisfy the customer’s desire for convenience. With new technology, such as

mobile development and advanced ordering, fast food chains have become even more convenient.

Currently the S&P Supercomposite Restaurant Index has risen 13.2% in 2015.4 As consumers tastes

change restaurants try to continue to drive in traffic into their establishments. A huge driving factor for

this is customer loyalty. The trend of health consciousness among consumers has risen causing them to

look for healthier options when eating out. With the rise in awareness of additives and the quality of food,

companies moving toward this direction are increasing their customer loyalty. In addition technology

factors are also affecting the industry, with the increase in technology innovation restaurants can now

implement these to try to decrease the wait time for ordering or paying. Companies that are using these

new technologies are said to be moving in the right direction as it provides more ease for the consumer.

With the demand of increase in minimum wage many restaurants are facing the difficulties in trying to

manage this increase in labor cost. Similarly increasing cost in commodities impact the restaurant

business, depending on the type of food offered, some companies are impacted more heavily than others.

For example with the slight decrease in the price of cheese pizza chains are benefiting from this as there

cost decrease.5 In attempts to curve the increase in labor cost many companies are reducing their menus

to contain less options and also trying to improve the efficiency of workers. Overall, the industry appears

to be doing well as it outperformed the S&P 500’s 0.5% gain.6

KEY RATIO ANALYSIS ACROSS INDUSTRY

DuPont Analysis

The DuPont analysis indicates a stable Return on Equity [ROE] for Chipotle with a slight upwards trend

over the years. However, Chipotle has consistently had lower ROE than most of its main competitors over

the last five years. This is a trend that continued through FY2014. However, the main driver for the lower

ROE is debt utilization. They have slightly above average Profit Margin and Total Asset Turnover, but have

the lowest level of debt to equity and as a result have a low Leverage.

Profitability

Figure 5 – Current Trading Q3/2015 across Industry (Sales)

Source: Bloomberg data.

As it can be seen in Figure 5 and 6, Chipotle is a mid to large-size player within the industry with LTM

Q3’15 revenues of $4.4bn and an EBITDA of $1.0bn. Given different Franchise agreements across the

industry and therefore different asset structures, EBITDA is a good measurement of the operational

Performance. Chipotle’s EBITDA margin of 21.5% indicates a slightly higher operational profitability than

the median of the peer group with 20.3%. Given the focus of Chipotle on high quality ingredients, extensive

marketing efforts and increasing labor costs (Chipotle has begun to increase labor wages, more

promotions and hosts benefits such as paid time off and reimbursement), it underlines the resilient

business model of Chipotle. Chipotle has been at the forefront when it comes to high quality ingredients

which is why their supply costs are higher than their labor, normally reverse in the industry.

Restaurant Revenue Analysis

Figure 7 – Detailed analysis of restaurant sales as of FY2014

Note: Calculations based on Company and Bloomberg data. Darden & Brinker financials as of Jun’14.

Looking at the detailed analysis of restaurant revenues (Figure 7), Sales per Store are in correlation with

the number of franchised restaurants. Whereas the competitors with high number of franchised stores

indicate a lower Sales per Store metric (ranging from $0.2m to $1.8m), Chipotle, Darden and Texas

Roadhouse, which do not have any franchise agreements, depict a higher Sales per Store. Of these three,

Chipotle has the lowest Sales per Store with $2.3m. Nevertheless, this goes in line with the number of

employees, respectively the Sales per Employee (Figure 8). While Texas Roadhouse and Darden have low

revenues per employee compared to the industry, Chipotle is above the average of the peer group.

Overall, Darden and Texas Roadhouse achieve higher Sales per Store, but at the same time engage more

employees, whereas Chipotle seems to reach above average results in both, Sales per store and per

employee.

At the same time, Chipotle’s Comparable Sales (defined as percentage increase (decrease) of same store

sales as compared to the corresponding period last year for restaurants older than 12 months) were

recently high above the industry average with solid metrics the years before. This compliments the

successful implementation of marketing efforts made by Chipotle as well as how consumers value the

menu, which is not only driven by convenience but by a focus on the industry trend of health and

environment conscious consumers living an active lifestyle.

Other Key Ratios

P/E ratio

Chipotle is highly valued based on the P/E Ratio compared to its peer group. Within the last years,

Chipotle was consistently valued above average. This reflects its strong growth as well as the stable

business model. The growth and investment strategy of Chipotle is perceived well by the market

underscored by a share price development of +26.1% over the last three years (including recent

drawback caused by e-coli incidents).

Cash Conversion

Within the industry a negative Cash Conversion Cycle [CCC] is quite common. Given the business to

consumer model of the restaurant industry, firms usually collect payments from customers before

paying suppliers. Chipotle is well positioned with a negative CCC above the average of the peer group,

which underlines its good supplier relations. This supports our view that Chipotle will be able to grow

its supplier network in line with its strategic expansions in the future.

Fixed Asset Turnover

Given the differences in the industry based on franchise agreements of certain competitors, this metric

varies across industry. Despite Chipotle owning all its restaurants, the fixed asset turnover is in line with

the industry average, which depicts an efficient usage of Chipotle’s fixed assets.

Inventory Turnover

Chipotle has by far the highest Inventory Turnover within the peer group. This underlines the focus on

fresh high quality ingredients, which are an important part of Chipotle’s image. In light of this metric,

the strategy and image of Chipotle seems to be based on fundamental business activities that support

both.

SUSTAINABLE LONG TERM GROWTH RATE ANALYSIS

Since Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has not yet paid dividends, our sustainable growth rate table references

hypothetical future payout ratios of 80 to 95% and them against the very consistent ROE numbers for

Chipotle, 23.5 to 25.5%. We believe a realistic long term sustainable growth rate for Chipotle is between

2.0 to 2.5%, which reflects our prediction of long term comparable sales growth of around 2.0%.

UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS

Core Assumptions

There are several key assumptions that need to be made when looking at future sales for Chipotle Mexican

Grill, Inc. Most central to our methodology is the arithmetic historic growth average and recognition of a

downward trend of this growth. While Chipotle has experienced exceptional revenue growth in the recent

past by capitalizing on movement to health consciousness, we believe this will slow as Chipotle

approaches market saturation for its product. The saturation can be, and will continue to be, seen through

lower comps and less successful new store openings. In spite of a slightly pessimistic outlook on future

sales, we see fairly consistent returns to equity as a result of healthy profit margin and total asset turnover

and no change in the leverage profile.

Cost of Goods Sold – As a result of Chipotle’s continued commitment to responsibly raised meat and high

quality ingredients, we see cost of goods sold remaining on the higher end of historicals. We believe there

to be a slight lag in the supply of responsibly raised meats, as was evident during the 2015 carnitas

shortage. Lack of competition among suppliers and a desire for quality food will result in higher food

prices for Chipotle. As carnitas are reintroduced, we expect the proportion of food cost to revenues to

return to 34-35% of revenues and stay there for the foreseeable future.

Labor expense – Labor expenditures should remain relatively consistent with increases in sales growth

and are expected to stay within 22% to 23% of revenue. Minimum wage increases in many markets

throughout the country have caused the cost of labor to go up. Frequently, Chipotle is already paying above

the new minimum wage and does not feel a direct impact from the new legislation. While minimum wage

increases seldom affect Chipotle directly, management’s desire to continue to attract top level talent will

force them to adjust laborers’ wages upward. We expect these upward adjustments to pace with revenue

increases.

Comparable Sales – Our projections for comparable restaurant sales are in line with the comp estimates

of management at Chipotle, mainly, low single digit restaurant sales through the next couple years. We see

this as one of the reasons that revenue growth will be lower than historical numbers, when comps were

upper single digits to lower double digits. One place where we see the potential for growth in comparable

sales, but believe it will take some time to realize, is in the digital market. We believe the recent addition

of Curt Garner as CIO indicates a focus on the ongoing optimization process of outside orders that Chipotle

has started to increase digital sales.

New Store Openings – New store openings should continue to be in line with stated management

expectations and will maintain the recent trend of low double digit year-on-year growth.

General and Administrative Expenses – We expect general administrative costs to slightly decrease as a

percent of revenue. This decrease is mainly driven by significant spread between new store revenues

compared to increases in administrative salaries.

Balance Sheet Assumptions

The key driver in the balance sheet is a historical arithmetic mean from the three years of 2012, 2013 and

2014. In two cases in particular, there were significant trends that caused us to bias the account to revenue

ratio. Specifically, the Net PPE account had a downward trend that we predict will continue through to

2017, when we assume there will be a leveling off at 21% Net PPE to revenue. In the LT Investments &

Receivables account, there was an upward trend, which we believe will continue upwards to around 14%.

Free Cash Flow Assumptions

In 2014 there was a one-off effect of buying a corporate plane that increased CapEx $24 million. In the

long term, we see CapEx as proportional increasing with new restaurants openings. In 2014, Chipotle

spent on average about $843,000 in development and construction costs per restaurant in the U.S., net of

landlord reimbursements of approximately $60,000, and for all restaurants including international

locations they spent on average about $849,000, net of landlord reimbursements of approximately

$66,000. For new restaurants to be opened in 2015, Chipotle anticipates the average development costs

to decrease slightly primarily due to the mix of locations and categories. Additionally, maintenance CapEx

is seen to range between 10-15% until 2020.

Risk and Return Analysis

– 12 –

OVERVIEW RISK/RETURN ANALYSIS

In order to analyze the risk and return

of Chipotle [CMG US], we compare its

return distribution to Newmont Mining

Corp [NEM] and the S&P 500 Stock

Index [^GSPC] for 120 data points

comprising monthly prices from

January 2006 up to November 2015

(Resulting in 119 monthly holding

period return observations). Table 4

depicts an expected return of 2.8% for

CMG compared to a negative average

return of -0.3% for NEM and 0.5% for

the GSPC. These returns have to be seen

in relation to each assets’ individual

standard deviation as an indicator for the risk correlated. CMG has a slightly higher standard deviation

than NEM, whereas GSPC has the lowest standard deviation with 0.04. Nevertheless, the Sharpe Ratio

(calculated based on the monthly 10yrs Treasury Yield as benchmark rate) indicates that the return of

CMG in relation to its isolated risk is higher than for NEM and GSPC, which underlines a good relation of

return to risk as well as the strong share price development of CMG over the analyzed period.

Furthermore, CMG has a fairly mesokurtic return distribution with a skewness close to zero and a kurtosis

close to 3. This is rather unusual for the 3rd and 4th moment of a return distribution, but might be an

indicator of fairly constant share price development and low volatility. In contrast to the slight negative

skewness exhibited by CMG, the positive skewness of NEM bears a more favorable return distribution

than the negative value for GSPC due to a longer tail of NEM’s returns to the right. This indicates a higher

probability for positive outliers (high positive returns). However, the negative skewness for GSPC results

only in a marginally longer tail to the left. NEM and GSPC in particular both have a highly leptokurtic return

distributions which is displayed through high kurtosis values. As a result, both assets have much higher

peaks than the normally distributed CMG as well as heavier tales with more outlier return points.

Furthermore, we looked at the correlation of CMG with NEM and CMG with GSPC based on the Spearman

coefficient (-1 – low correlation; +1 – high correlation), which is less sensitive to outliers and thus very

useful for taking into account the leptokurtic distributions of NEM and GSPC. The Spearman coefficient

shows a positive correlation between CMG and GSPC and a slightly negative correlation but more or less

no correlation between CMG and NEM. These correlations are in line with the observed expected returns,

which indicated similar return movements of CMG and GSPC as well as the opposed/non-correlated

movement of NEM. The Var-Covariance and Correlation Matrices in Table 5 confirm these observations.

The covariance between all three asset

pairs is fairly low. However, CMG and

GSPC have a higher covariance than

NEM with CMG /GSPC.

The Pearson correlation coefficients

show a similar pattern and confirm the

observations made with the Spearman

coefficient. CMG’s returns are fairly

positive correlated with GSPC’s and

rather non-correlated with NEM’s. NEM

and GSPC have a slightly positive correlation as well.

PORTFOLIO SIMULATION

In the following part, we analyzed hypothetical portfolio combinations of CMG and NEM. Table 6 and

Graph 1 show the outcome of each asset allocation and their respective expected monthly return and

standard deviation. The returns vary from -0.3% up to 2.79% with standard deviations from 0.1075 to

0.1102, respectively. Using the Lagrange approach, we solved for the weights of the minimum variance

portfolio, whose metrics are depicted in Table 7. These are in line with the 50/50 mix that can be seen in

Table 6 and Graph 1.

CALCULATION OF BETA

To determine the systematic risk of CMG in

comparison to the market [GSPC], we use the

measurement of beta. In order to compute beta, we

ran a regression with CMG as our dependent variable

and GSPC as our independent variable using monthly

returns. Conducting regression analysis allows us to

determine how the effects of the market impact an

individual security or portfolio. In other words, the regression tells us how much the variation in the

market affects the individual security, which in this case is CMG. The assumption we made for using the

S&P 500 Index [^GSPC] as the representation for the market has to do with the idea of diversification. It

is assumed that we can eliminate firm specific risk through diversification. Given that the S&P 500 is

composed of the 500 largest companies in the US, we can claim it has diversified essentially all firm and

industry specific risk and the only risk that needs to be taken into account is systematic risk. Although

running a regression provides us with the beta measurement, we also need to determine the statistical

significance of the Beta. The statistical significance will tell us the probability the relationship in our

regression is accurate. To determine statistically significance we will look at the t-statistic and the p-value,

which should be larger than 1.96 and smaller than 0.05 respectively. We found that CMG had a beta of
0.84, a t-stat of 3.82 and a p-value of 0.0002. The beta for CMG is statistically significant and it is less

volatile than the market, which has a beta of 1. Similarly, we computed the beta of NEM to be 0.31,

however, we found that it was not statistically significant (t-stat: 1.37, p-value: 0.17). It could be said that

there is a 17% chance that the beta of .31 is an inaccurate representation of the relation between returns

of NEM and GSPC and therefore the beta for NEM would not be a good indicator of how the security is

impacted by the systematic market movement.

Additionally, we looked at the R-squared for both CMG and NEM to determine what percentage can be

determined by movements in the GSPC. We found that CMG had an R-squared value of 0.1116, which

means that 11.16% of the movement in CMG can be explained by the movements in GSPC. Similarly, 1.58%

of the movement in NEM can be explained by the movements in GSPC. Both of these stocks have fairly low

R-squared values, which is not that surprising as GSPC only has so much explanatory power on the

movements of individual stocks.

We compared the beta‘s we got to those of other companies such as Yahoo! Finance and Reuters and found

that our values were different. Yahoo! Finance reported beta values of 0.23 and 0.48 for CMG and NEM

respectively7. However, Reuters reported values of 0.35 and 0.308 for CMG and NEM respectively. Both

values differ from the beta values that we computed. The discrepancies can be caused by various different

factors, for example the time frames used may be different. We used historical price data that ranged from

January 2006 through November 2015, giving us 120 data points. If either Yahoo! Finance or Reuters used

different date ranges then the size of their data will be different and cause their computation of beta to

differ from ours. Another cause for the differences can be the frequency of the returns. We used monthly

returns to compute our beta values but if Reuters chose to use daily or weekly historical prices then this

would also cause their value for beta to differ. Given the turmoil the CMG stock has been through within

the last months, including or excluding certain trading days/periods may certainly affect the Beta value,

too.

REQUIRED RETURNS BASED ON THE CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL [CAPM]

To estimate the required return for CMG and NEM we used the Capital Asset Pricing Model [CAPM]:

?[??????] = ?? + ?[????? − ??]

For the risk free rate (rf), we are using the monthly 10-year treasury yield, which is .0019 or .19%. The

betas (β) were calculated above in the regression analysis and the market return (rGSPC) is based on the

average return of the GSPC. Given this information the required returns for CMG and NEM are 0.46% and

0.29% respectively.

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION

Provided the expected returns we can say that CMG is underpriced due to the fact that on average it earns

2.79%, while its required return is 0.46%. The market/investor requires a return of 0.46%, but based on

our analysis, the expected average return lies at 2.79%, thus the stock is undervalued. Using the same

CAPM formula, we determined that the required return for NEM is 0.29%. In contrary to CMG, the

expected return (-0.3%) of NEM is lower than its required return, which results in NEM being overpriced.

In our view, the market is not being compensated for the relative market risk of NEM and hence, NEM is

overvalued.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW MODEL

The first model we used to determine the fundamental value of Chipotle is a two-step Discounted Cash

Flow Model [DCF]. Table 9 summarizes our forecasts up to FY2018 using FY2015 as the basis year. This

3-years period is in line with the management forecast period, which we see as a period of higher growth

rates converging towards our long term growth rate of c. 2.0%.

Table 9 – Free Cash Flow Forecasts

Based on these forecasts, Table 10 provides an overview of the DCF model. Chipotle has no interest

bearing debt and thus an Equity Ratio of 100%. Hence, the WACC is purely dependent on the Cost of Equity,

which we calculated with the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The WACC of 5.6% is used as the discount rate

for the Free Cash Flows resulting in a total present value of $1,855.0m.

Table 10 – Model Overview

Table 11 depicts the results of the DCF model in dependence of the long term growth rate and the WACC.

These mainly affect the terminal value (minor changes in the PVs of the FCF), which has been calculated

based on the perpetuity growth model. In line with our assumptions of a long term growth rate of about

c. 2.0%, the share price implied ranges between $605.5 and $693.1.

RESIDUAL INCOME MODEL

In order to reduce the weight of the terminal value and thus the dependence on the long term growth rate

as a decisive factor for the enterprise value of Chipotle, we included a residual income model. This

valuation model results in a fundamental value of the firm that largely stems from the assets already in

place. Furthermore, this model is useful for companies that do not pay out dividends. The fundamental

value combines the current book value of the total assets (BVA0) as well as the discounted Economic Value

Added (EVA) over the forecasted period, as described by the following formula:

? = ???0 + ∑
?(????)

(1 + ????)?

?

?=1

The terminal value was again calculated using the perpetuity growth model. Table 12 summarizes the

forecasts for the EVA and its components (EVA = NOPAT – Capital Charge). The WACC used was the same

as used in the DCF-Model (5.6%).

Table 12 – Economic Value Added (EVA) & Book Value Assets (BVA) Forecasts

The results of RI-Model are shown in Table 13, sensitized for the long term growth rate and WACC. Given

a long term growth rate of c. 2.0%, the share price ranges from $545.3 to $627.4.

COMPARABLE VALUATION

To put the estimated share price ranges of our two fundamental value models into perspective, we are

using a comparable valuation as a comparison. Based on our universe of suitable competitors, we

calculated the Price-Earnings, Enterprise Value/EBITDA and the Enterprise Value/Sales Ratios to analyze

how the peer group is currently priced by the market. Figure 9 shows an overview of the complete peer

group. However, we are focusing on Starbucks, Wendy’s and Dominos as the relevant peer group.

Figure 9 – Overview of relative values of peer group

Given Chipotle’s unique market position, we focused on key industry metrics such as EBITDA-margin,

inventory turnover and comparable sales to determine the relevant peer group (see Part 1 for details).

Table 14 indicates the range of the multiples and implied share prices based on the relevant peers. Our

2015FY forecasts we used for EPS, EBITDA, Sales and EV were $16.3, $940.8, $4724.5 and $16,481.2,

respectively.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION
Figure 10 – Overview of Valuation Results

As already indicated in Part 3 with

a required return of 0.46% and an

expected return of 2.78%, Chipotle’s

stock is undervalued. The results of

the various valuation methods used

above are summarized in Table 15

and Figure 10. Our target price lays

within the range of $595.9 and

$699.2. Given Chipotle’s position in

the industry with a lack of comparable competitors, we weighed the DCF and the RI Model at 25% each,
