Darden Restaurants Expected to Report Higher 2Q Sales -- Earnings Preview

Dow Jones

2025/12/18

By Nicholas G. Miller

Darden Restaurants is set to report its second-quarter earnings before the market opens Thursday. Here is what you need to know.

SALES: Analysts polled by FactSet expect Darden to report $3.08 billion in sales, up from $2.89 billion the year before.

NET INCOME: The company is expected to report net income of $247.6 million, up from $215.7 million in the year-earlier quarter.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS: Stripping out certain one-time items, earnings are expected to come in at $2.10 a share, up from $2.03 a share last year.

SAME-RESTAURANT SALES: Wall Street is predicting same-restaurant sales growth for the quarter of 3%.

The stock has fallen 9.1% over the past three months and was recently trading at $189.84.

WHAT TO WATCH:

--Olive Garden has tested smaller-portion entrees at lower prices to attract value-seeking diners and those using weight-loss drugs. Investors will be listening for updates about how consumers are responding to these smaller offerings.

--Darden has been leaning more into delivery to help attract customers who don't dine in. Investors will want to hear commentary about the company's delivery growth and the kinds of consumers it's drawing.

--Beef prices have continued to soar, providing a headwind to Darden's LongHorn Steakhouse and Ruth's Chris Steak House. Investors will be watching for the impact of beef inflation on the company's margins.
