Darden Restaurants, Inc., through its various subsidiaries, focuses on the ownership and operation of full-service dining establishments across both the United States and Canada. As of May 29, 2022, the company's extensive portfolio comprised 1,867 directly managed restaurants. These included a significant presence from its flagship brands: 884 Olive Garden outlets, 546 LongHorn Steakhouse locations, 172 Cheddar's Scratch Kitchens, 85 Yard House venues, 62 Capital Grille branches, 45 Seasons 52 restaurants, 42 Bahama Breeze sites, 28 Eddie V's Prime Seafood establishments, and 3 Capital Burger eateries. In addition to its owned operations, Darden also oversees 60 franchised restaurants, specifically 35 Olive Garden units, 18 LongHorn Steakhouse units, 4 Cheddar's Scratch Kitchens, 2 Capital Grille locations, and 1 Bahama Breeze restaurant. The company, which originated in 1968, is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.
The reconstruction
The price sits at the 6th percentile of published models, 10% below the median target, meaning the market has fully absorbed recent earnings beats and buybacks but entirely refuses to pay for the bullish growth and margin assumptions held by the two most optimistic analysts.
What the disagreement turns on
Whether Olive Garden and LongHorn can grow same-store sales fast enough to offset beef inflation and push revenue past the 9.7% annual growth the price already demands — unit volumes can measure the traffic, but the margin and pricing components cannot be tested with wired data.
The price pays for
It declines to pay for
Written by a language model from the published models, the reported segments and a reverse-DCF — not a recommendation, and not a house view.
