Baird analyst David Tarantino lowered the firm’s price target on Darden (DRI) to $192 from $210 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. With the probabilities of an economic slowdown seemingly rising following the “shock” of last week’s tariff announcement, Baird lowered estimates and price targets for the restaurants.

Baird moved to the sidelines on Portillo’s and Starbucks.
