• Chipotle faces wary diners, tech push, big menu bets

  Chipotle (CMG) has only known high growth over the past decade. High growth in terms of new store openings, sales, and earnings. That’s primarily because of the company’s generous portion sizes and messaging of healthier ingredients to increasingly health-conscious consumers. But now, the argument could be made that Chipotle is heading into an interesting five-year period. The company is adding new technology to its restaurants to drive efficiency. It's expanding into new countries such as Mexico. And it’s picking up the pace of new menu offerings. All of this comes as new fast casual restaurant concepts sprout in Chipotle’s backyard. Consumers continue to be cautious about eating out as menu prices have risen. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi discusses the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright. Boatwright has settled into the Chipotle CEO job and will be tasked with driving the company forward in this critical period.

• Where this billionaire is betting big next

  There is being a winner in one’s business career, and then there is Ted Leonsis — arguably one of the most successful business people of the past 20 years. The former top tech and AOL executive has parlayed his success in the C-suite into being a dominant force in the world of sports. He owns Capital One Arena, which is undergoing a nearly $1 billion tech-led renovation. He purchased the WNBA’s Washington Mystics for $10 million in 2005, well before the surge in popularity in the league. He bought the NBA’s Washington Wizards for $310 million 2010, a fraction of what major sports teams are going for today. He purchased the NHL’s Washington Capitals in 1999 for $200 million. So what’s next for Leonsis? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with Leonsis about the business of sports and what opportunities he sees ahead. Leonsis had been rumored to have interest in buying the MLB’s Washington Nationals, for example. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• Why the Trump economy hasn’t plunged into recession…yet

  Midway through 2025, the economy finds itself in a fascinating position. Despite considerable Trump tariff uncertainty and sticky inflation, the US economy continues to expand. The job market is staying solid. Corporate America, as seen by earnings results from Delta (DAL), Levi Strauss (LEVI), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), is performing well on the top and bottom lines. And profit outlooks haven’t been too shabby, either. But that doesn’t mean smooth sailing for the economy into year-end. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with Apollo chief economist Torsten Sløk. Several months ago, Slok didn’t rule out a US recession in part because of Trump's tariffs. Meanwhile, the perception of a non-independent Federal Reserve when Trump announces Jerome Powell’s successor could harm the economy and markets. Sløk shares his perspective on these pressing issues for investors and how dynamics may unfold in the economy as we look forward to 2026.
