Scott Boatwright disposed of 31,522 Chipotle Mexican Grill shares on Aug. 22, 2026, for about $1.1 million as a non‑discretionary withholding to satisfy tax liabilities from vested restricted stock units. After the transaction he directly holds 318,609 shares, valued at roughly $11.24 million, and total insider ownership stands at about 0.0248%.
