Income Statement Key Figures
ⓘRevenue and Revenue Growth
Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Darden Restaurants generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.
Gross Margin
Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Darden Restaurants retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Darden Restaurants's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.
EBIT and EBIT Margin
EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.
Shares Outstanding
The total number of shares Darden Restaurants has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.
Analyst Estimates
The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Darden Restaurants's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic.

Darden Restaurants business model & stock analysis
Darden Restaurants SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Darden Restaurants Inc owns and operates several well-established and popular restaurant chains, including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, and The Capital Grille. Being associated with these recognized brands allows Darden to attract a large customer base and benefit from their positive reputation.
Darden offers a diverse range of menu options across its different restaurant chains, catering to various culinary preferences and dietary restrictions. This diversity appeals to a wide customer base and enables Darden to capture a larger market share compared to competitors with more limited menus.
Weaknesses
Darden Restaurants heavily relies on the casual dining segment, which has faced challenges in recent years due to changing consumer preferences and increased competition from fast casual and delivery-based restaurants. The company's success is closely tied to the overall health and popularity of the casual dining industry.
Darden's profitability is highly dependent on achieving economies of scale through efficient supply chain management and cost control. As a large restaurant company, it must constantly optimize its operations to maintain competitive pricing and margins. Failure to do so could impact its financial performance.
Opportunities
Darden Restaurants can explore opportunities to expand its restaurant chains into untapped international markets. By leveraging its strong brand recognition and diverse menu offerings, the company can attract international customers and diversify its revenue streams beyond the United States.
The increasing focus on health and wellness presents an opportunity for Darden to enhance its menu offerings with more healthy and nutritious options. By catering to the growing demand for healthier food choices, the company can attract health-conscious customers and differentiate itself from competitors.
Threats
Darden Restaurants faces competition from local eateries, which often offer unique dining experiences and locally sourced ingredients. These establishments can attract customers seeking personalized and authentic dining options, posing a threat to Darden's market share in specific locations.
Instability in food costs and supply chain disruptions can impact Darden's profitability and operational efficiency. Fluctuations in prices of key ingredients and disruptions in the supply chain, such as natural disasters, can affect the company's ability to maintain consistent quality and profitability.

Fair Value Estimate
ⓘWhat Is Fair Value?
Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.
Earnings-Based Fair Value
Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.
Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021
Revenue-Based Fair Value
Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"
Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021
Dividend-Based Fair Value
Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.
Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021
How to Use This Chart
When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Annual Return
ⓘWhat This Chart Shows
This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.
Price Return
Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.
Dividend Return
Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.
What to Look For
Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.
