Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Comparable Sales And TrafficAnalyst highlights outsized comparable sales and positive traffic trends at Olive Garden and LongHorn as drivers of sustained top-line momentum and share gains in full-service dining.
Guidance And Valuation OpportunityManagement's reiterated earnings guidance for FY26 alongside a trading multiple below the long-term average presents an analyst-identified entry opportunity if input costs begin to normalize.
Menu Innovation And Delivery StrategyThe rollout of a smaller-portion menu combined with greater emphasis on delivery channels is improving guest affordability perceptions and visit frequency, supporting incremental sales without broad promotional spending.
Bears Say
Beef And Commodity InflationPersistent beef inflation and elevated commodity costs are squeezing restaurant margins and may necessitate additional pricing, which could pressure profitability.
Rising Labor And Operating CostsHigher labor expenses and other operating cost pressures are offsetting operational gains, creating margin erosion risk and potential downside to EPS.
Tough Compares And Investor SkepticismUpcoming difficult comparable periods and mix headwinds, coupled with some analysts favoring faster-growth peers, could limit multiple expansion and keep shares under pressure.
