Is Chipotle Stock a Bargain or Trap After Starbucks Took Its CEO?

By Matt Frankel, CFP and Rick Munarriz – Aug 24, 2024 at 10:04AM EST

The fast-casual stock is losing the leader who oversaw its most exciting growth.

We recently learned that Chipotle's (CMG +3.64%) highly successful CEO, Brian Niccol, has been hired by Starbucks (SBUX +0.72%) to turn the slumping coffee giant around. Should Chipotle investors be worried, or is any weakness in the stock a long-term buying opportunity?
