The latest data from Ticker Tags shows that the E. coli scare at Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG may have created a market share opportunity for rival Qdoba and parent company Jack in the Box Inc. JACK.

Ticker Tags monitors social media sites to identify trends by searhcing for words or phrases that are found together in social media content, such as tweets.

Since the beginning of November, there have been multiple spikes in social media content that includes mentions of both Chipotle and Qboda, much of which presents Qboda in a favorable light.


If Chipotle’s stock is going to recover to its previous levels, the company is first going to have to find a way to get its social media buzz trending in the right direction again.
