Reason
BMO Capital raised the firm's price target on Darden to $215 from $190 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm is turning more constructive on the company given its incremental top-line focus, which is supportive of the stock's above-historical multiple, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Darden introduced below-consensus FY26 EPS guidance owing to macro uncertainty and investments, though its updated long-term growth framework incrementally emphasizes sales growth at the expense of margins, BMO added.

Overweight
Reason
KeyBanc raised the firm's price target on Darden (DRI) to $245 from $230 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Darden reported featured better than expected Q4 EPS and same-store sales trends as both Olive Garden and LongHorn widened their SSS growth gap vs. the casual dining industry relative to the prior period, with the outperformance helped by a strong consumer response to the company's marketing programs, including the "Buy One, Take One" offer at Olive Garden and a modest contribution from its Uber Direct (UBER) partnership, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the potential acceleration in unit growth and modestly higher expected SSS growth justifies a higher valuation.

Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Darden to $253 from $245 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following the fiscal Q4 report. The trade off to a more sales versus more margin-driven growth should drive a higher multiple versus history for Darden, given the more flexibility this provides to the model, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Equal Weight
Reason
Stephens raised the firm's price target on Darden to $212 from $200 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares after the company reported fiscal Q4 results that topped consensus expectations on all major line items. FY26 comp guidance came in roughly inline with Street expectations while its EPS guidance was below consensus expectations, notes the analyst, who believes Darden has "decent visibility" into the first half of the fiscal year with tougher second half comparisons and views the stock as "fairly priced."
