Chipotle Proposes 50-for-1 Stock Split to Fuel Growth and Attract More Investors

Chipotle is proposing a 50-for-1 stock split, but splits don't create shareholder value - the focus should be on Chipotle's business growth

Revenue and profits have grown exponentially since IPO due to more locations and higher sales per location

CEO believes Chipotle can double its locations in North America and raise sales volumes, fueling further growth

Lower post-split share price could attract new investors who couldn't afford $2,900 per share

Options trading will be more accessible, allowing some potentially useful strategies like buy-writes to lower cost basis
