Summary
Chipotle Mexican Grill compounded net income at 19.5% a year (CAGR (compound annual growth rate)) over the past three years, yet latest annual net income rose only 0.1% (YoY (year-over-year)). The most recent quarter reported $403.55M in net income and improved QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) by 33.3%, which is an early read that suggests some short-term recovery. Revenue growth has slowed from the three-year trend to a +5.4% latest annual pace. Assets cover liabilities 1.46 times, providing a clear balance-sheet cushion. The Altman Z-score is 5.56, above the safe threshold of 2.99 and well clear of the distress threshold at 1.81. A Piotroski F-Score of 6 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a mixed-to-favorable earnings-quality reading. The next report must show sustained net income reacceleration on an annual basis to confirm the multi-year trend.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
