Brinker International Should Continue To Beat Market Expectations
Chili's brand continues to drive exceptional growth, with strong traffic and sales outpacing industry peers, fueling Brinker International's outperformance versus the S&P 500. Operational improvements and strategic marketing have led to significant margin expansion and amplified EPS growth, prompting management to raise revenue and EPS guidance. Maggiano's turnaround is in the early stages, but applying Chili's successful playbook could unlock the next phase of growth and surprise the market in FY26.

Brinker International: Still A Buy Even With Strong Returns In Past Year
I rate Brinker International a strong buy due to significant improvements in factor grades, now mostly in A territory, signaling robust fundamentals. The stock has already delivered a ~230% return since last year, and I see further upside as current valuations remain attractive and undervalued. Brinker excels with strong sales growth, driven by Chili's effective value promotions and operational efficiencies, resulting in improved profitability and earnings.

Brinker International: Mature Brand, Fresh Strategy, 8% Yield Potential
I believe the company's robust earnings growth and room to expand margins support my (cautious) buy rating. Brinker is showing strong same-store sales growth and improved margins through operational optimizations. With pricing power and revenue/restaurant growth, a path to an 8% earnings yield by 2030 is reasonable.
