Spotlight on Chipotle Mexican Grill: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Pershing Square converted its Nike stock into call options, maintaining exposure
Bill Ackman could have a new love for the automotive sector with a new investment made in the first quarter and an added position to a stake from the fourth quarter of 2024 that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">revealed in April.</a>
Here's a look at Ackman's investment holdings in Pershing Square as of March 31.
First Quarter Changes: Ackman and Pershing Square unveiled a new stake in Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) in the first quarter with a position of more than 30 million shares. The stake is now the largest holding the Pershing Square portfolio and comes with the investor making several recent moves to his investment strategy.
Ackman increased his stake in Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) in the first quarter with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1336528/000117266125002315/0001172661-25-002315-index.html">filing </a>showing an 18% increase.
Ackman's stake in Hertz was unveiled via a tweet and an updated SEC filing in April. A 12.7 million share purchase was originally kept from the fourth-quarter holdings document due to a request for confidentiality.
Here were the other increased stakes in the quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brookfield Corporation: +18%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): +11%</li>
</ul>
Pershing Square lowered its investments in the following stocks in the first quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>): -45%</li>
<li>Google Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>): -16%</li>
<li>Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>): -13%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>): decreased by less than 1%</li>
</ul>
One notable move in the quarter was Pershing Square&#8217;s conversion of its 18.8 million Nike shares into over-the-counter call options, maintaining a similar economic exposure.

Ackman's Top Holdings: The newest 13F filing shows 11 stocks owned by Ackman and Pershing Square. Here are the current holdings and their percentage of the investment fund:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Uber: 19%</li>
<li>Brookfield: 18%</li>
<li>Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>): 13%</li>
<li>Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>): 12%</li>
<li>Chipotle: 9.1%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific: 8.7%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class C: 8.3%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class A: 5.8%</li>
<li>Hilton: 5.7%</li>
<li>Seaport Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEG#NYSE">SEG</a>): 0.9%</li>
<li>Hertz: 0.5%</li>
</ul>
The latest 13F filing comes as Ackman is trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45401638/howard-hughes-rises-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-bill-ackman-exits-from-universal-music-groups-board-to-prioritize-new-investments">buy control of </a>Howard Hughes and turn it into a diversified holding company to copy the conglomerate style of legendary investor Warren Buffett.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Chipotle Mexican Grill 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

As Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) showed in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45039495/dominos-pizza-q1-operating-margin-shrinks-as-lower-income-consumers-feel-the-pinch">latest earnings report</a>, even America's favorite comfort food is not immune to the chill of a cooling economy. High inflation and jittery consumer sentiment, spooked by erratic trade policies, pulled down U.S. same-store sales by 0.5% on-year in the first quarter — a surprise miss against expectations.
Yet, all is not burnt crust and bad news. Domino&#8217;s surpassed earnings estimates with an EPS of $4.33, compared to $3.58 in the same quarter last year.
Smart tech investments by Domino&#8217;s, such as AI-based order preparation and their AnyWare platform, are likely to keep holding investor faith. On top of that, its new agreement with DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>), which is launching nationwide in May, Domino&#8217;s has laid the groundwork for a possible comeback in the second half of the year.
This resiliency might make <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs holding restaurant stocks</a> an excellent opportunity for investors seeking to ride out economic volatility. Funds exposed to names such as Domino&#8217;s, McDonald&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), and Chipotle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)—all firms focusing on tech development and value-for-money strategies—may provide a defensive yet lively play.
The following are three ETFs that investors may consider adding to their menu:
AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EATZ#NYSE">EATZ</a>)
EATZ is the sole pure-play restaurant ETF in the U.S. market, providing direct exposure to quick-service behemoths such as Domino&#8217;s, McDonald&#8217;s and Chipotle.
With a diversified basket in fast food, casual dining and coffee chains, EATZ is for those who think Americans will hold on to their comfort food, recession or not.
Domino&#8217;s is one of its top holdings, making it a natural choice for those wagering on pizza&#8217;s staying power.
However, EATZ has a reasonably small asset base, which may result in thinner liquidity. This makes it best suited for investors with a slightly higher tolerance for volatility.
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>)
XLY provides more extensive exposure to consumer discretionary names, with heavyweight positions in Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), but also brings in big restaurant players such as McDonald&#8217;s and Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>).
It&#8217;s less restaurant-intensive but gives more diversification to investors who desire dining stocks without going &#8220;all in&#8221; on the group.
During turbulent markets, the power of familiar names can be like economic comfort food, reassuring but with less risk.
Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEJ#NYSE">PEJ</a>)
PEJ follows U.S. leisure and entertainment companies — including large restaurant chains.
It tilts toward companies poised for consumer discretionary spending, picking up both restaurants and entertainment spots.
US Foods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USFD#NYSE">USFD</a>) and others typically have a spot on its list, surfing trends such as value-based dining and convenience-optimized ordering like DoorDash.
PEJ&#8217;s high-momentum selection strategy aims to pick up companies with good fundamentals and momentum, making it a good choice in turbulent economic climates.
It is interesting to note that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">recent action by Warren Buffett&#8217;s</a> Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44975325/2-smart-investments-to-follow-warren-buffetts-lead">raise its stake in Domino&#8217;s in Q3 2024</a>, just ahead of the latest tariff-led market volatility further supports the notion: even when the economy is shaken like a pizza, innovation, value and customer loyalty can make the dough keep coming.
For ETF investors, this could be the time to try restaurant-themed or consumer-discretionary funds that serve up a full plate of durability. After all, when pocketbooks get tight, Americans might skip the gourmet meal — but they&#8217;ll still call for a $10 pizza, maybe with extra cheese.

Pre-Market Outlook

TSCO

5 Stocks In The Spotlight Last Week:  Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In

Goldman Sachs analyst Christine Cho on Wednesday provided a preview of the first quarter for U.S. restaurants.
What Happened: U.S. restaurant companies faced a tough start to 2025, with weaker consumer sentiment, weather impacts and tariff uncertainties affecting performance, except for a few like Brinker International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>).
Although first-quarter softness was expected, risks remain on the downside due to macroeconomic and policy uncertainties, as reflected in Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44996394/chipotle-battles-slumping-sales-but-honey-chicken-boosts-hope-say-analysts">same-store sales growth miss and lowered guidance</a>.
These factors are likely to dominate investor attention during the earnings season, noted the analyst.
Despite no major changes in consumer intent for restaurant spending, recent adjustments to estimates reflect lower macroeconomic forecasts from GS economists, including slower GDP growth and a higher recession probability.
Restaurant sales trends are closely tied to consumer spending, and weaker macro conditions suggest lower comparable store-sales growth in the second half of 2025 and into 2026.
Inflation&#8217;s impact on margins is limited, and there&#8217;s a higher risk to global restaurant development plans, particularly in international markets, which could reduce long-term unit growth, the analyst said.
Economists predict a slowdown in U.S. GDP growth to 0.5% in 2025, down from 2.5% in 2024, with a 45% recession risk, up from 20% earlier in the year due to tightening financial conditions, foreign boycotts, and policy uncertainty.

The deceleration in consumer spending and macro headwinds are putting pressure on restaurant top-line growth, with varying impacts across different restaurant types.
Fast food restaurants show the lowest sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions, with higher resiliency compared to fast casual and full-service restaurants, which are more correlated with GDP and consumer discretionary spending.
Recent surveys show no significant shifts in consumer purchase intent for restaurants, with full-service restaurants seeing improvement compared to grocery stores, while limited-service restaurants have contracted in recent months.
What&#8217;s Next: Companies like Wendy&#8217;s Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>), Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>), Wingstop Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WING#NASDAQ">WING</a>), Yum! Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>), and Jack In The Box Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>) have higher lease-adjusted net leverage, with Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and Domino&#8217;s facing notable near-term debt maturities.
Slower same-store sales growth and higher build costs are expected to hurt franchisee profitability and reduce demand for new stores.
Many fast food chains anticipate slower unit expansion in 2025, with Jack in The Box planning major cutbacks and closures, while fast casual/casual dining brands remain mostly on track.
Potential U.S. tariffs may raise domestic build costs, while international growth faces challenges from weaker global demand and rising anti-U.S. brand sentiment.
U.S. tariff actions and foreign policy stances have damaged international perceptions of the U.S., raising concerns about reduced demand for American brands.
While it&#8217;s too soon to measure definitive consumer pullback, monitoring sentiment is increasingly important for U.S. brands abroad.
Morning Consult data shows a YTD decline in U.S. favorability across most tracked countries, particularly Canada, Western Europe and Mexico.
Despite rising anti-U.S. sentiment globally, current data indicates no strong link between U.S. tariffs and Chinese consumer attitudes toward U.S. brands.
