Chegg Inc. (CHGG)
Chegg has been a staple for online homework solutions for a while, but recently entered the market of buying and selling textbooks. Entering a market with many barriers of entry has shown to be a challenge for them. With a steep decline since their jump in 2020, Chegg does not show much promise of a strong future.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG)
Chipotle was founded in 1993 and went public in 2006. Operating 2,996 stores, Chipotle has become a dominant figure in fast food with its emphasis on fresh, quality ingredients. Having beat 19 of their last 20 earnings expectations, as well as a consistently growing profit with an expected revenue of over $8 billion compared to about $7.5 billion in revenue, Chipotle seems to stay on track to succeed in the future.

Founded in 1978, Boot Barn Holdings is a large “Western” clothing manufacturer. Growing from $776m million in revenue in 2019 to $1.4 billion in revenue in 2021, Boot Barn has shown consistent growth since their IPO in 2014. However, the western clothing fashion has been slowly declining in popularity, and Boot Barn’s profit margin of 10.2% is not amazing by any means.
