The Quality Score for CMG stands at 7.8 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc in the high quality band. Businesses in this band tend to combine good returns with a sound balance sheet, even if one pillar lags the others. It rolls Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies with a published score, that ranks at the 98th percentile, in the top tenth of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 6.1 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc well above the median.
Profitability scores 8.7 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 91st percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.
Solvency has no score for Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
On growth, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc scores 7.7, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well above them, at the 90th percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency scores 7.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies is 6.2, so Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 76th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc’s predictability score is 7.4 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well above the group and the 90th percentile. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.
Profitability at 8.7 is Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc’s best pillar and efficiency at 7.0 its weakest. The 1.7 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Weak efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc has no pillar below the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.5 rather than 7.8. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
