- Computer Modelling Group Ltd. (TSX: CMG) has launched a 12-month NCIB to repurchase up to 4,136,475 common shares (5% of its outstanding shares as of November 3, 2025) from November 14, 2025, to November 13, 2026.

- Management will evolve its media strategy and enhance both in-restaurant and digital experiences to better communicate Chipotle’s value proposition to consumers.
- Reduced customer frequency as macro uncertainties lead regular patrons to visit 1–2 times/week down from 2–3 times/week previously.
- Maintained fast casual market share gains, despite a slowdown in May among low-income consumers; no share loss to other fast casual or QSRs.
- Menu innovations include Adobo Ranch launched in summer and upcoming dips and hot honey chicken, slated for the 2026 marketing calendar.
- Investing in operational tech: piloting an AI vision system for line efficiency and rolling out a high-efficiency equipment package (dual-sided plancha, produce slicer, dual-vat fryer, rice cooker) in 160 restaurants.
