Chipotle (CMG, $718.88) gets a downgrade to hold from buy from Jefferies; shares slide -1.2%
Chipotle Mexican Grill shares fell -1.2% Thursday, following a downgrade by Jefferies analysts.
The analysts at Jefferies lowered their rating on Chipotle to hold from buy, as they anticipate that the stock may have reached its full valuation after rallying almost 70% year-to-date.
"Although the company reached an impressive 1 million rewards members in barely 10 days, we think this key driver, along with the company's powerful digital drivers are now being better understood and discounted in the stock," Jefferies analyst Andy Barish said in a note to investors.
Jefferies raised its price target on Chipotle stock to $700 from $600.
