Brinker price target raised to $170 from $150 at BMO Capital

BMO Capital raised the firm’s price target on Brinker (EAT) to $170 from $150 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The company’s Q4 earnings topped estimates on stronger Chili’s comps and in-line restaurant margins, partly offset by higher operating costs, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Brinker also introduced initial FY26 EPS guidance, which appears conservative owing to potential comp upside, the firm added.
