December Jobs Data Put Focus on These Sector ETFs & Stocks

December jobs data highlight sector shifts as healthcare and restaurants add jobs, while retail lags. ETFs XLV, EATZ in focus.

Cold-brew coffees, beers, burgers, and burritos all got more expensive, according to the latest&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pos.toasttab.com/blog/data/menu-price-monitor?srsltid=AfmBOopNHLUsbDtd_6HQbW600kHHcCKBagaWme-OMNSrI7Cw-0STUTiG">Toast Menu Price Monitor</a>.The increases, which have squeezed diners, reflect a combination of higher raw-material costs and rising overheads such as packaging and transportation, and have not really boosted their producers' bottom lines.Here's a look at how each category and its companies performed over the past year. The trends are based on menu prices tracked by Toast, a restaurant-focused payments company, across 156,000 locations.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burger And Burrito (Fast Food)</h2>Toast data shows that a Burger had a median price of $14.53 as of October 2025, up 3.2% from the same month a year ago. The cost of a burrito rose modestly, rising by just 43 cents to $13.43.&nbsp; &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:804/373;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_6_11_01_PM_png_71dbc46a57.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 6.11.01 PM.png" width="804" height="373"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:844/405;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_7_08_05_PM_png_b96d9818a5.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 7.08.05 PM.png" width="844" height="405"></figure> Although burger prices have been climbing, they have lagged the sharp run-up in beef costs in recent months. The latest uptick, however, suggests restaurants are beginning to pass at least some of those higher beef prices on to customers.Major fast-food companies McDonald’s, Yum Brands, and Restaurant Brands International have seen revenue growth shrink and profits decline, though their stocks have remained resilient. The burrito chain, Chipotle Mexican Grill, has emerged at the bottom end, with a nearly flat profit growth in the first nine months of 2025, and a 41% year-to-date stock drop.&nbsp; &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1200;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20251217_070655460_png_f861ee7e9e.webp" alt="koyfin_20251217_070655460.png" width="1600" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1133;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Fast_Food_Chains_Net_Income_Change_In_Two_Years_jpg_b0b72565af.webp" alt="Fast_Food_Chains_Net_Income_Change_In_Two_Years.jpg" width="1600" height="1133"></figure>&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Coffee&nbsp;</h2>Toast data shows that the cost of a regular cup of coffee surged 3.2% to $3.57, while that of cold brew coffee increased 4.7% to $5.53. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:815/371;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_7_05_19_PM_png_0b5647d4bb.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 7.05.19 PM.png" width="815" height="371"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:811/369;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_7_05_28_PM_png_f88b4250b8.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 7.05.28 PM.png" width="811" height="369"></figure> The U.S. imports nearly all its coffee from major producing countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and Switzerland.

Now its very undervalued,” said one user,&nbsp;with several forecasting a rebound.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/gratefultobe/message/634254817</stembedurl>The stock slide is reminiscent of the decline following Chipotle’s second-quarter results in July,&nbsp;when it fell 13.3%. If&nbsp;after-market losses extend into Thursday’s session, it would mark the stock’s worst performance since July 2012.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Young And Low-Income Consumers Pullback</h2>Chipotle tempered its outlook, citing particular weakness among low- and middle-income consumers, who have traditionally been the Mexican food chain's biggest patrons.&nbsp;U.S. households earning less than $100,000 a year, which make up about 40% of Chipotle's sales, have pulled back sharply, company executives said on the analyst call. Customers aged 25-35 years were particularly pressured, owing to rising unemployment, resumed student loan payments, and sluggish wage growth, they said.Chipotle also faces cost pressures, particularly surging beef prices —the company's largest commodity — due to U.S. trade tariffs. The company said it would take a "slow and measured" approach to price hikes in 2026 rather than fully offsetting cost pressures.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Weak Numbers</h2>For 2025, the company expects comparable restaurant sales to decline in the low single digits, compared with its prior forecast of about flat. “We think it’s the right thing to do to continue to provide extraordinary value to our guests during this challenging economic backdrop,” CFO Adam Rymer said on the analyst call.Meanwhile, it reported third-quarter comparable restaurant sales rose of 0.3%, missing analysts’ estimate of a 1.36% rise. Total revenue rose 7.5% to $3 billion, while adjusted EPS came in at $0.29, in line with the estimate.Some Stocktwits users debated whether the company's value proposition aligns with current pricing and portion sizes, especially at a time when consumers are budget-conscious, with some expressing dissatisfaction.“Its not that $10 bowl is unaffordable, its the feeling of getting ripped off with smaller portions,” said one user.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/sasasa100/message/634237814</stembedurl>As of the last close,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CMG">CMG stock</a> has fallen 34% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/openai-ipo-could-be-the-biggest-ever-aiming-for-a-whopping-1-trillion/cLGFXW3R3D9">OpenAI IPO Could Be The Biggest Ever, Aiming For A Whopping $1 Trillion Valuation: Report</a>
