Darden Restaurants, known for its flagship Olive Garden chain, is set to report its earnings this Thursday, drawing mixed opinions from analysts. While Olive Garden remains a significant driver of revenue, some analysts are skeptical about the overall performance, particularly in the face of rising prices that may be deterring consumers. Despite some experts suggesting that Olive Garden might surprise positively, there are concerns over recent downgrades and a decline in share prices, which could worsen with disappointing earnings. Analysts highlight the importance of a strong quarterly report to meet high expectations, although they acknowledge the resilience of consumers and current favorable business conditions. Overall, the market is closely monitoring Darden's performance against competitive chains like Texas Roadhouse and Brinker, as well as newer entries like Sweet Green and Cava.

COMMENT

It reports Thursday. Olive Garden still drives this company, but the street is focused on the Texas Roadhouse and Brinker chains. Are consumers pushing against high prices?

DON'T BUY

They report Thursday. A lot will depend on their Olive Garden business, their largest, and it could surprise, but he much prefers Sweet Green and Cava.

DON'T BUY

They report Thursday. Analysts have been downgrading it and shares are down from their peak. It can go lower if they report their price hikes are hurting business.

WATCH
reports Thursday

Expectations are high, so they need to come in with a strong quarter. The consumer is resilient and business is doing well.

BUY

Trades at 18x PE and pays a 3% dividend yield. True, it's in a crowded space, but DRI makes money.

WATCH

They report Friday. Listen to what they say about consumer demand and inflation. This is key and could pressure shares.

COMMENT

They report Thursday and will reveal if people will still spend a lot of money to dine out. He likes DRI but not enough to buy it.

They report next Friday. A weaker economy will mean people will dine at cheaper chains like Olive Garden. Some feel shares have run up too much.
