    Mizuho Says Sell Chipotle After Huge Rally

    Investing.com - Enough is enough.After an 80% spike since Brian Niccol was named CEO in February, Chipotle shares were downgraded to sell by Mizuho.In a note to clients, the Wall Street firm said investors "should reduce their risk" because the stock price already reflects an "aggressive recovery" in sales and profit margins.Niccol recently outlined his turnaround plan for the burrito chain, but analysts called it short on details.Given that, Mizuho said there are no clear catalysts to "justify significant earnings upside." Mizuho, however, did acknowledge Niccol's "impressive track record" as CEO of Taco Bell, calling him the "best choice to lead Chipotle."Niccol replaced founder Steve Ells, who struggled to guide the company back from a series of food safety incidents dating back to 2015. The stock traded as high as $750 a share back then.

Starbucks has hotter prospects. Zolidis notes that the coffee giant already pre-released second-quarter same-store-sales data, with revenue rebounding last month, and has "strongly hinted" that it will reduce long-term-growth targets, which would be a relief to many investors.

    Chipotle: Why Innovation Won't Be Easy

    A Tuesday note from Mizuho Securities, in which its analysts set an “underperform” rating and a $330 share price target that’s well below current levels and FactSet’s current mean target of about $416, discussed reasons menu innovation could challenge the company. “In a concept where the vast majority of traffic occurs in the lunch daypart and the productivity of its line crew thrives on the simple ordering option tree, innovation can carry unintended consequences,” the analysts wrote. Some of their observations: • The analysts lauded management’s stated intention to carefully craft processes around the actual production of new menu items, noting what might be interpreted as “a lower risk tolerance with regards to menu development.” • They also recently visited the Next Kitchen, where they observed some of the challenges—which we discussed after our own visit—firsthand.
