2 Restaurant Stocks Struggling After Chipotle's Dismal Results
The shares of fast-casual restaurant chains CAVA Group Inc (NYSE:CAVA) and Darden Restaurants Inc (NYSE:DRI) are both moving lower today, after sector peer Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) reported dismal top-line quarterly results and slashed its full-year revenue forecast.
We Still Like Darden
Darden Restaurants, Inc. delivered mixed fiscal Q1 results, with strong overall sales growth but slight misses on revenue and EPS expectations. Comparable sales rose 4.7%, led by Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, while fine dining lagged; segment profits mirrored these trends. DRI increased its quarterly dividend to $1.50 and continues robust share buybacks, supporting a 3% yield and ongoing shareholder returns.
