Deutsche Bank upgraded Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) from Hold to Buy, price target raised to $390.00.

Deutsche analyst says, "CMG remains the best growth story in the restaurant industry given a 13% unit growth rate, industry-leading same store sales, industry-leading new unit returns, and a long runway for new stores. 2012 also sets up as a better year for earnings growth than 2011, as easier cost compares + higher menu pricing = a better margin outlook."
