Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Cost ManagementManagement’s ability to beat on Restaurant Level Margins, despite softer top-line, indicates principled cost management.
PartnershipsThe rollout of UberDirect at Olive Garden was completed, with early results suggesting 40-50% incrementality.
Sales GrowthPent-up demand and promotions like Buy-One, Get-One at Olive Garden, along with the Uber Direct delivery partnership, are expected to drive a strong finish to the fiscal year for Darden Restaurants.
Bears Say
Consumer SentimentThere is a lack of confidence that the full service rebound will persist due to soft consumer sentiment data.
Macroeconomic UncertaintyVisibility into incremental upside is somewhat limited under an uncertain macroeconomic and consumer backdrop.
Valuation ConcernsThe current valuation reflects an overly optimistic view of relative near-term traffic and same-store sales acceleration.
