Darden Restaurants

Darden Restaurants is among the world’s largest Restaurants sector businesses in the world.  Darden Restaurants’s employees generate $348.9M in profits on $5.567B of revenue.  Global output in the Restaurants business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Darden Restaurants is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Restaurants segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Darden Restaurants’s ticker symbol DRI has recently been trading near $44.20 a share.  The Darden Restaurants corporate headquarters in Orlando, FL predicts Restaurants profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $6.201B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.55, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Darden Restaurants moves less aggressively.
