Jim Cramer Praises Chipotle's 'Self-Help' Strategy Amid Economic Slowdown: 'Inflation Just Won't Quit'
In a recent episode of CNBC's "Mad Money," host Jim Cramer lauded Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:CMG) for its ability to thrive despite a sluggish economy, attributing its success to its "self-help" strategy.
在最近一集的CNBC節目《瘋狂的錢》中，主持人吉姆·克萊默稱讚了Chipotle Mexico Grill Inc.（紐約證券交易所代碼：CMG）在經濟疲軟的情況下仍能蓬勃發展，將其成功歸因於其 “自助” 戰略。
What Happened: Cramer, on Thursday, highlighted the performance of companies that can sustain growth despite economic challenges. He specifically pointed to Chipotle, commending its ability to improve and expand its operations, reported CNBC.
發生了什麼：克萊默週四強調了儘管面臨經濟挑戰仍能維持增長的公司的業績。據CNBC報道，他特別指出了Chipotle，稱讚其改善和擴大業務的能力。
"When we're looking for reasons to buy a stock in this environment, we want companies that generate constant self-help. Chipotle does it by improving throughput — how many people that they can serve, say, every 15 minutes," he said. "It just keeps getting better and better and that's got nothing to do with GDP or inflation woes."
“當我們在這種環境中尋找購買股票的理由時，我們希望公司能夠持續提供自助服務。Chipotle通過提高吞吐量來做到這一點，比如說，他們每15分鐘可以爲多少人提供服務，” 他說。“情況越來越好，這與國內生產總值或通貨膨脹困境無關。”
The fast-casual chain recently released its quarterly earnings, surpassing Wall Street's expectations. Despite raising prices, Chipotle experienced a surge in both sales and foot traffic, leading to a more than 6% increase in its share price by Thursday's close.
這家快餐連鎖店最近發佈了季度收益，超出了華爾街的預期。儘管提高了價格，但Chipotle的銷售額和客流量均激增，導致其股價在週四收盤時上漲了6％以上。
Cramer suggested that Chipotle's success could be attributed to its ability to meet consumer demand by enhancing its service speed, a strategy that is independent of broader economic factors like inflation and GDP.
克萊默認爲，Chipotle的成功可以歸因於其通過提高服務速度來滿足消費者需求的能力，該戰略不受通貨膨脹和國內生產總值等更廣泛的經濟因素的影響。
He also noted that this kind of "self-help" approach could counteract the market's current concerns, particularly in light of the ongoing challenges such as increased interest in the bond market.
他還指出，這種 “自助” 方法可以抵消市場當前的擔憂，特別是在債券市場興趣增加等持續挑戰的情況下。
"It takes a special kind of stock to do well when the economy's slowing while inflation just won't quit," he said.
他說：“當經濟放緩而通貨膨脹根本無法停止時，需要一種特殊的股票才能表現良好。”
Why It Matters: Chipotle's recent financial performance has been impressive. The company's first-quarter revenue increased by 14.1% year-over-year to $2.702 billion, beating the consensus estimate. The company's comparable restaurant sales also saw a 7% year-over-year increase, driven by higher transactions and a 1.6% rise in the average check.
爲何重要：Chipotle最近的財務表現令人印象深刻。該公司第一季度收入同比增長14.1％，達到27.02億美元，超過了市場普遍預期。受交易量增加和平均支票增長1.6％的推動，該公司的可比餐廳銷售額也同比增長了7％。
Chipotle's strong financial results led to a rise in its stock price, prompting analysts to raise their forecasts for the company's future performance. The company's international expansion also reached a milestone with the opening of its first location in Kuwait City, marking a decade of international growth.
Chipotle強勁的財務業績導致其股價上漲，促使分析師提高對公司未來業績的預測。該公司的國際擴張也達到了一個里程碑，在科威特市開設了第一家分店，標誌着國際增長十年。
