Chipotle confirmed that fewer people are visiting its restaurants — a trend that has now lasted an entire year.

  • Traffic dropped again in Q4.
  • Same‑store sales declined 2.5% in the quarter.
  • Full‑year 2025 same‑store sales fell 1.7%, the first annual decline since 2016.

This is the biggest red flag for investors.
