Recent Updates on EAT stock
In recent developments for Brinker International, Citi upgraded its rating to Buy, citing improvements in the company’s cost environment due to reduced Brazil food tariffs and successful efforts to attract younger guests. This optimism is supported by anticipated sales momentum through fiscal 2026. Conversely, Argus lowered its price target, despite recognizing Brinker’s turnaround progress, which includes an 18% revenue increase and a 13% rise in traffic at Chili’s. The adjustment reflects broader market uncertainties and high leverage concerns. Meanwhile, Freedom Capital initiated coverage with a Buy rating, highlighting Chili’s ongoing transformation and market share gains. The company’s recent earnings call underscored Chili’s strong performance, with a 21.4% increase in same-store sales, although challenges persist with Maggiano’s declining sales and rising commodity costs. Brinker remains focused on operational efficiency and strategic pricing to mitigate these pressures.
Spark’s Take on EAT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EAT is a Neutral.
Brinker International’s strong financial performance and positive earnings call sentiment are key strengths, driven by Chili’s robust growth and operational efficiency. However, high leverage and overbought technical indicators pose risks. The valuation is reasonable, but the lack of a dividend yield may limit appeal to some investors.
