Bulls say

Darden Restaurants, as the largest full-service restaurant operator in the US, reported consolidated revenue of $12.1 billion in fiscal 2025, reflecting strong performance from its extensive portfolio of 11 brands. Key indicators, such as Olive Garden's growth accelerating approximately 700 basis points compared to previous quarters and expectations for unit growth to reach the higher end of its long-term target, support a favorable outlook for the company. Additionally, Darden's competitive strengths in everyday value and service are anticipated to further enhance its same-store sales performance relative to peers, contributing to overall revenue growth.

Bears say

Darden Restaurants faces a negative outlook primarily due to its projections indicating same-store sales and earnings per share missing consensus expectations for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, exacerbated by a cautious consumer environment, particularly among low-income segments. The company is also poised for operational challenges related to unit growth, which may introduce inefficiencies and cannibalization risks across its restaurant brands. Furthermore, anticipated increases in beef prices could negatively impact restaurant-level margins, compounding the potential for revenue declines amid ongoing economic uncertainties, including recessionary pressures and fluctuating consumer confidence.
