( NYSE:CMG ) has reported third-quarter 2012 earnings of $2.27 per share, which fell shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.30. However, the result was ahead of the year-ago earnings of $1.90 per share. Double-digit top-line growth and margin expansion led to the year-over-year growth in earnings.Revenues grew 18.4% year over year to $700.5 million in the reported quarter buoyed by new restaurant openings and higher comparable store sales (comps). However, revenues too missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $703 million. According to Baird, it would use weakness in Chipotle to buy the share aggressively since it believes that Q3 results were missed because of a variance on new-store contributions, not fundamental issues. The firm stated that the company’s earnings report contains various positives such as healthy same store traffic, healthy balance sheet, and reassuring management commentary. Shares have an Outperform rating and a price target of $460.
