Chipotle Mexican Grill reported a 2.1% increase in third-quarter comparable restaurant sales on Wednesday, topping analysts' average estimate of a 1.4% rise. Value deals and limited-time offerings helped the burrito chain attract more diners despite broader consumer spending pressures. That momentum drove shares up 4% in extended trading.
