Christian Greiner and Phil Kafarakis dissect Darden Restaurants (DRI) earnings. Phil says they have an “incredible portfolio brand” and are “hitting sales goals,” though they missed Street forecasts. He says they have the “secret sauce” by owning some of their properties and “they’re doing a great job with innovation” on menu, citing them as a potential long-term play. Christian notes slimming margins, but highlights the breadth of their offerings allowing them more levers to pull than other restaurant players to weather economic storms.
