Darden Restaurants Set to Report Q4 Earnings Amid Bullish Analyst Sentiment
Darden Restaurants (DRI) prepares to unveil its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results on June 20, with shares already climbing 19% year-to-date. Analysts project a 12% EPS increase to $2.97, fueled by Olive Garden's resurgence and strategic Uber Eats partnerships. Revenue is expected to hit $3.26 billion, up 10% YoY.
Truist Securities' Jake Bartlett raised DRI's price target to $252, citing strong same-store sales growth of 6.5% at Olive Garden. The bullish outlook reflects confidence in the casual dining sector's recovery, though crypto investors note the absence of direct digital asset correlations in this traditional market play.
