Two world-class consumer stocks, Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) and Chipotle (NYSE: CMG), have had to navigate their way through the high inflationary environment. On Sept. 13, all three major stock indexes, that is the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite, suffered their worst one-day percentage drops since June 2020, the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic hysteria. In addition, CEO Brian Niccol noted in the second-quarterearnings callthat the majority of Chipotle's customers are high-income households, which are less likely to stop ordering from the Mexican chain due to rising prices.
