Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) is sliding again on Monday. This comes after last week's meltdown.

It is the Stock of the Day because it is oversold and at a support level. These conditions may set the stage for a reversal and move higher.
Many trading strategies are built around the concept of reversion to the mean. If a stock gets overextended in one direction or the other, there is a good chance that it reverses.
If sellers are emotional and aggressive and push the shares below their normal or typical trading range, traders say they are oversold. This will draw buyers into the market, who will be anticipating a reversion or move higher, and their buying could force the price up.
There are many ways to determine if a stock is oversold. Some popular and simple indicators include Stochastics, Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Another way is to use a Demark Indicator; one is displayed on the chart.
If there are nine closes in a row where it was higher than the closing price four sessions prior, it is a sell signal. As you can see, the last two of these signals were great times to sell.
Conversely, if there are nine trading sessions where the close was lower than the closing four sessions before, it is considered to be a buy signal. The one in late May was a good time to buy.
A &#8220;9&#8221; appeared on the chart on Thursday. Of course, it is too soon to tell, but there is a chance that now will be another good time to buy.
Chipotle is also close to a level that has been support before. A lot of times if a stock drops to a level that had been support previously, a reversal and rally follow.
This combination of being oversold while at support could mean it is time to buy this stock.

RBC Capital Markets: Chipotle Mexican Grill reported a 4% decline in same-store sales, which missed expectations by 112 basis points (bps), Reich said in a note. Management attributed the shortfall to "macro volatility and correlation to consumer sentiment which bottomed in May," he added.
The company's two-year comps bounced back to around 8% in June and July, with improving sentiment, the launch of a new dip called Adobo Ranch, and marketing initiatives, the analyst stated. "However, volatility through the qtr prompted mgmt to lower FY25 SSS guidance to ~flat from LSDs," he further wrote.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Chipotle Mexican Grill reported its earnings for the quarter in line with estimates, with better-than-expected store-level margins offsetting the shortfall in same-store sales growth, Gonzalez said. "Food, beverage, and packaging cost was most favorable vs. consensus," he wrote.
While the company's same-store sales contracted by 4%, much worse than consensus of a 2.9% decline, trends improved in June and July, the analyst stated. Both traffic and same-store sales returned to low-single-digit growth, he added.
Stephens: Chipotle Mexican Grill reported mixed results, with a modest miss on same-store sales and restaurant level margins coming in at 27.4% versus consensus of 27.1%, Salera said. Management cut their full-year same-store sales guidance for the second consecutive quarter, due to "an uncertain macro backdrop," he added.  
"We had hoped for a more upbeat tone around 3Q25 trends, but commentary remained measured, with positive late June and July trends balanced against the guidance reduction," the analyst wrote. Chipotle Mexican Grill's initiatives could drive longer-term benefits but are unlikely to have any material impact of its near-term performance, he further stated.
BMO Capital Markets: Chipotle Mexican Grill reported earnings of 33 cents per share, in-line with expectations, Strelzik said. Although sales modestly missed expectations, trends accelerated in June and July, he added. The company generated 8% two-year comps, which was needed to achieve the implied comps projections for the back half of the year, the analyst stated. Analysts are optimistic &#8220;easier compares will pair with key initiatives&#8221; to drive continued acceleration into 2026.
CMG Price Action: Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill had declined by 11.65% to $46.63 at the time of publication on Thursday.
