What this return means

A $1,000 stake in Chipotle (CMG) from 2020 sits at $1,781 today. The total return is +78.1% over 6.5 years, as of 2026-06-01.

That is about 9.3% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $2,574 instead, beating Chipotle by around $793. The index compounded at about 15.7% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.

The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2021 at +70.8%, and the worst was 2022 at +0.4%. At its lowest point the position was down about 33% 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.
