What this return means
A $1,000 position in Chipotle (CMG) opened in 2010 is worth $16,004 today. That works out to +1500.4%, about 16x the original stake, as of 2026-06-01.
In compound terms that is roughly 18.3% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $9,417 on the same stake, putting Chipotle ahead by close to $6,587. The index compounded at about 14.6% a year over that period.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2011 at +127.0%, and the worst was 2016 at -36.2%. At its lowest point the position was down about 54% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
