CMG
Chipotle Mexican Grill
ABSTRACT
Chipotle at ~$58 post-split embeds heroic assumptions about sustained traffic growth and margin expansion that look increasingly difficult to deliver. The valuation multiple of ~45× forward earnings leaves no room for disappointment, while mounting competitive pressure, labor inflation, and tough same-store sales comparisons create a favorable risk-reward for a short.
SBUX
Starbucks Corporation
ABSTRACT
Starbucks at ~$98 trades at a premium multiple despite structurally challenged North American comps, an expensive and complex China turnaround, and margin pressure from labor and promotional activity. The valuation embeds an optimistic view of the new CEO's ability to reverse traffic declines quickly, creating an attractive entry for a short position.
