Here are his previous thoughts about Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:SHAK):

“During earnings season, when a stock comes in maybe too hot, even a good quarter might not be enough to prevent it from pulling back. Take Shake Shack, iconic burger chain. Last Thursday morning, the company reported a pretty clean top and bottom line beat with its highest restaurant level margins in six years, which is what I care about. Yet some people thought there was a fly in the ointment. Shake’s same-store sales grew at just 1.8%. Analysts were looking for 2.2%. Give me a break.”
