Dear Reader,
What if you could claim a stake in what’s set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Click here to see the details because everyone is talking about Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO.
CNBC called it “the big market event of 2026.”
And The New York Times predicted…
This IPO “will unleash gushers of cash for Silicon Valley and Wall Street.”
You see, this is NOT about launching rockets to Mars, satellite internet, or anything you’ve heard from the media.
It’s much bigger than that…
Because this IPO is a key part of Elon Musk’s secret AI masterplan…
A plan that I believe will unlock the full power of artificial intelligence...
Unleashing what Elon Musk is predicting will be…
A $1 quadrillion new wealth wave.
Just to put that into perspective…
That would be enough to send a check for $2.8 million to every single man, woman, and child in America.
That’s how big this opportunity is.
Click here to get the details and I’ll show you how to claim your stake…
Starting with just $500.
We have so much to look forward to,

Is Chipotle's 2026 Playbook the Secret Sauce for a Reversal?
Written by Thomas Hughes. Posted: 2/4/2026.
In Brief
- Chipotle Mexican Grill is in the midst of a major turnaround as it invests in its next chapter of growth.
- Institutions and analysts set a price floor in late 2025, which is still in effect in early 2026.
- Cash flow and capital returns are safe in 2026.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) faces near-term hurdles, but it appears on track to sustain and accelerate growth, setting its stock price up for a major reversal. Key takeaways from the Q4 release and conference call include the confident tone set by CEO Scott Boatwright and the 2026 strategy he outlined.
Plans call for increased investment in technology, back-of-house operations, menus, and innovation, alongside accelerated store growth. Boatwright said the company will open more restaurants than last year and grow the International segment at a rapid pace—doubling its presence in the Middle East while expanding in high-growth markets such as Mexico, Singapore, and South Korea. If successful, international growth could outpace domestic and eventually become the larger portion of revenue as the company scales.

Chipotle's Q4 results and guidance didn't spark a rally — far from it — but the post-release price dip is less alarming than it looks. The pullback was partly driven by analysts trimming price targets, but the market is already trading at deep-value levels and is unlikely to fall much further. A rebound from here seems more probable.
CMG currently trades at about 32x trailing earnings and roughly 8x the projected 2035 EPS. If execution matches those forecasts, the stock could be up 200%–300% by then, depending on the multiple investors apply.
The current analyst price target range is $35 to $45, implying fair value near $40. Trading in the mid-$30s, CMG is close to that price floor with roughly 15% upside relative to consensus. Institutional activity supports the floor: institutions bought on balance throughout 2025 and into early 2026, roughly $2 bought for every $1 sold, according to MarketBeat data.
Analysts rate the stock a Moderate Buy, citing brand strength, its value proposition, and the cautious tone of management's guidance.
Strong Quarter Overshadowed by Weak Guidance, But …
Chipotle posted a solid quarter, reporting $2.98 billion in revenue, up 4.9% year-over-year. While comparable restaurant sales (comps) declined 2.5%, store count growth offset that weakness, positioning the company for a leveraged rebound if consumer habits normalize. Margins were another relative bright spot: restaurant-level margin declined 140 basis points and operating margin declined 50 basis points—results broadly in line with expectations and consistent with a healthy operating profile. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.25, up about 4% year-over-year, but management's cautious guidance weighed on sentiment.
The 2026 guidance anticipates comps improving but only enough to sustain 2025's pace, with system growth driven primarily by new openings. Management emphasized the guidance is conservative given macroeconomic uncertainty. Market observers expect the company to outperform that conservative outlook; the primary question is by how much.
Chipotle's cash flow and balance sheet show the company can keep executing its strategy and return capital to shareholders despite uneven consumer trends. Q4 highlights include total liabilities at roughly twice equity, no unsecured debt, and a 3.5% year-over-year reduction in average quarterly share count. Share count reduction is expected to continue in 2026 and remains a tailwind for long-term per-share performance.
