Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Brinker International stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Brinker’s shares underperformed the industry year to date. Notably, Brinker’s revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in eight of the trailing nine quarters, mainly due to traffic decline at its restaurants. The company has a mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. Meanwhile, estimates have been going down ahead of its fiscal Q4 earnings release. A slowdown in some of the international markets and overall choppiness in the restaurant space might keep on pressurizing comps in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, the company’s expansion strategies, sales building initiatives along with various operational, remodeling and digital initiatives are expected to drive growth. Yet, higher labor and costs related to initiatives might continue to hurt margins in the near term. Brinker’s presence in energy-exposed markets may also continue to hurt traffic." (7/21/2017)
• 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "We maintain our Buy rating and $54 price target on Brinker International (EAT) following our conference call with Interim CFO Joe Taylor on Tuesday, June 13." (6/15/2017)
• 3. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "We are lowering our price target and trimming our SSS and EPS estimates given limited visibility into SSS drivers and ongoing industry headwinds. Chilis needs to find ways to reach family consumers that are increasingly staying home. We will be watching to see if Chili's take-out business gains momentum. Otherwise, we believe the chain may have to invest more heavily in food and labor." (1/26/2017)
