What the Analysts think about DRI

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Darden Restaurants stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

In Q2 fiscal 2026, Darden delivered 4.3% same-restaurant sales growth, ahead of IBES consensus, with strong comparable gains at Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse.

On December 18, 2025, Darden increased its full-year 2026 same-restaurant sales outlook to a range of 3.5%–4.3%, up from prior guidance of 2.5%–3.5%, signaling management’s confidence in ongoing consumer demand.

KeyBanc recently raised its price target for Darden to $228, citing continued strong sales momentum across multiple brands and solid operational performance.

Rising commodity costs, especially for beef and shrimp, are pushing food and beverage expenses higher for Darden and are likely to continue putting pressure on margins. As a result, analysts have lowered price targets.

For Q3 fiscal 2026, Darden reported revenue of $3.30 billion, which missed the $3.33 billion consensus estimate, raising concerns about the strength of topline growth.

Darden is set to permanently close 14 Bahama Breeze locations and convert another 14, a move that highlights ongoing underperformance in its Other Business division and may result in non-cash closure charges and distract management.
