Truist raised the firm’s price target on Darden (DRI) to $252 from $230 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm notes that the setup for the company heading into Q4 earnings is “modestly positive” as a strong Q4 beat and solid initial FY26 guidance being “partially priced in”, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist expects Darden’s FY26 guidance above its long-term framework, driven by strong recent trends, a continued boost from delivery, and an extra operating week, the firm added.
