Chipotle Mexican Grill Unusual Options Activity

Americans are firing up their stovetops at the "highest levels since early 2020," Campbell's Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) chief executive Mick Beekhuizen told analysts on Monday.
What Happened: Beekhuizen declared in a post-earnings conference call that consumers are "turning to our brands for value, quality, and convenience" and "favoring ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets."
Sales of condensed soup and broth — pantry staples that anchor low-cost meals — jumped 15% in Campbell's latest quarter, helping overall revenue beat Wall Street estimates even as the snacks division fell 5% on an organic basis.
The wallet shift comes as eating out grows pricier. Government data <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">show</a> the food-away-from-home index rose 3.9% in April from a year earlier, while prices for food at home slipped 0.4% on the month, widening the savings gap for households that choose their kitchens over restaurants.
Why It Matters: Fast-food giants are already feeling the heat. McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) CEO Christopher Kempczinski said visits from low-income diners were down "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45336128/a-divided-economy-mcdonalds-ceo-says-rich-keep-dining-out-but-average-income-consumers-feeling-economic-anxiety">nearly double digits</a>" in the first quarter and middle-income consumers fell nearly as much. According to Reuters, Burger King&#8217;s parent, Restaurant Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45292609/burger-king-parent-restaurant-brands-q1-earnings-miss-comparable-sales-drop-and-more">missed sales expectations</a> after noting that customers were steering inflation-hit dollars toward groceries. Chipotle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) cut its sales outlook too, blaming persistent inflation and economic uncertainty that keep guests at home.

Broader metrics also flash caution. The University of Michigan's consumer-sentiment gauge sank to a three-year low in May as households braced for higher prices.
Campbell Soup Company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45720002/campbells-brews-up-strong-q3-beats-estimates-as-home-cooking-sector-simmers">third-quarter sales</a> of $2.475 billion, up 4% year-over-year and ahead of analyst expectations. Meals &amp; Beverages sales jumped 15%, offsetting an 8% decline in Snacks, while adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the $0.66 consensus. The company also expanded operating cash flow to $872 million over nine months, delivered $110 million in cost savings, and continues to return capital through dividends and share buybacks.
Price Action: Campbell&#8217;s Co. shares closed 0.62% up at $34.25 on Monday.

Americans Are Cooking At Home More Than Ever Since COVID—And They Want Ingredients That Stretch Their Budget

New ETF filings from VistaShares reveal plans to launch funds that track the top trades of Bill Ackman and Michael Burry, expanding on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/03/44196788/exclusive-vistashares-launches-warren-buffett-inspired-etf-filling-a-gap-in-the-market-says-ceo">firm&#8217;s existing ETFs</a> tied to Warren Buffett&#8216;s investments.
What Happened: VistaShares may not be a household name for ETFs yet, but that could soon change with ETFs that will allow investors ways to invest alongside three legendary figures.
New <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1722388/000199937125006776/vistashares-485apos_052825.htm">filings </a>from the ETF company call for the following future ETFs to be launched:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>VistaShares Pershing Square Select ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Target 15 Pershing Square Select Income ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Scion Asset Management Select ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Target 15 Scion Asset Management Select Income ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Duquesne Select ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Target 15 Duquesne Select Income ETF</li>
<li>VistaShares Berkshire Select ETF</li>
</ul>
The ETFs will copy the investments and portfolios of Bill Ackman (Pershing Square), Michael Burry (Scion), and Stanley Druckenmiller (Duquesne). The new Berkshire Select ETF will add to the company's portfolio, which already includes the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMAH#NYSE">OMAH</a>).
The new ETFs are actively managed and will trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The main select ETFs will seek to replicate the performance of the underlying index. The target 15 funds will provide more of an income component with investments in options and other items to attempt to maintain an annual income target of 15%. &nbsp;&nbsp;
According to the filing, the VistaShares Pershing Square Select ETF would hold up to 20 stocks that best represent Ackman&#8217;s fund&#8217;s publicly disclosed holdings.

Why It's Important: The existing Berkshire fund from VistaShares has attracted over $200 million in assets and is popular with investors, likely leading to the launch of the new ETFs.
One item investors will have to decide before investing in the ETFs is that 13Fs from the likes of Ackman, Burry, Druckenmiller, and Buffett only have to be filed once a quarter, and the holdings may be different than what's reported. The stocks owned may have already increased in value between the time the investment management bought the stock and the time the transaction was disclosed.
Retail investors enjoy copying well-known investors with proven track records, and new products based on these names could offer excitement in the ETF space.
Ackman's most recent 13F filing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45456642/bill-ackman-loads-up-on-uber-dumps-nike-in-major-q1-portfolio-rebalance">showed several big changes</a>, including swapping out Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) stock for options and taking a position in Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) of more than 30 million shares. Ackman increased positions in Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) and Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) shares during the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, these were the top holdings in the Pershing Square fund:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Uber: 19%</li>
<li>Brookfield Corporation: 18%</li>
<li>Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>): 13%</li>
<li>Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>): 12%</li>
<li>Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>): 9.1%</li>
</ul>
The latest 13F filing comes as Ackman is trying to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45401638/howard-hughes-rises-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-bill-ackman-exits-from-universal-music-groups-board-to-prioritize-new-investments" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">buy control of&nbsp;</a>Howard Hughes and turn it into a diversified holding company to copy the conglomerate style of legendary investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett.
While investors could buy and hold the stocks that Ackman and others disclose they own each quarter, ETFs like this could take some of the legwork out. The inclusion of options, swaps, and other investing methods looks to generate additional income alongside any future gains from the legendary investors.

Spotlight on Chipotle Mexican Grill: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Pershing Square converted its Nike stock into call options, maintaining exposure
Bill Ackman could have a new love for the automotive sector with a new investment made in the first quarter and an added position to a stake from the fourth quarter of 2024 that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">revealed in April.</a>
Here's a look at Ackman's investment holdings in Pershing Square as of March 31.
First Quarter Changes: Ackman and Pershing Square unveiled a new stake in Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) in the first quarter with a position of more than 30 million shares. The stake is now the largest holding the Pershing Square portfolio and comes with the investor making several recent moves to his investment strategy.
Ackman increased his stake in Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) in the first quarter with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1336528/000117266125002315/0001172661-25-002315-index.html">filing </a>showing an 18% increase.
Ackman's stake in Hertz was unveiled via a tweet and an updated SEC filing in April. A 12.7 million share purchase was originally kept from the fourth-quarter holdings document due to a request for confidentiality.
Here were the other increased stakes in the quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brookfield Corporation: +18%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): +11%</li>
</ul>
Pershing Square lowered its investments in the following stocks in the first quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>): -45%</li>
<li>Google Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>): -16%</li>
<li>Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>): -13%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>): decreased by less than 1%</li>
</ul>
One notable move in the quarter was Pershing Square&#8217;s conversion of its 18.8 million Nike shares into over-the-counter call options, maintaining a similar economic exposure.

<li>Uber: 19%</li>

<li>Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>): 13%</li>

<li>Hertz: 0.5%</li>
</ul>
The latest 13F filing comes as Ackman is trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45401638/howard-hughes-rises-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-bill-ackman-exits-from-universal-music-groups-board-to-prioritize-new-investments">buy control of </a>Howard Hughes and turn it into a diversified holding company to copy the conglomerate style of legendary investor Warren Buffett.

Tesla stock is down 8% year-to-date as it grappled with declining sales and a broad consumer backlash against CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8217;s work for and association with U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump and the DOGE.
Some shareholders also criticized the company&#8217;s lack of independence among Tesla directors, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-16/tesla-adds-chipotle-executive-hartung-to-board-of-directors?srnd=phx-green&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Friday.
