Investors found Chipotle’s 2010 forecast unappetizing. The Denver-based burrito chain, which was spun off from McDonald’s, said sales at stores open at least a year will probably be unchanged next year. Chipotle had a stronger-than-expected third quarter, earning $34.5 million, or $1.08 per share, vs. a $19.5 million, or 59 cents, a year ago. It also still plans to add 120 to 130 locations next year.
