What are Wall Street analysts saying about Brinker International stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Brinker International stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Although shares of Brinker have underperformed the industry in a year, we are encouraged by its robust bottom-line growth in past seven reported quarters. Its traffic-building strategies and efforts to capture increased market share boosted the performance. Brinker’s strong To-Go business continues to drive the performance. Meanwhile, Chili’s turnaround strategy started to pay off. Increased focus on company-owned restaurants, which allows the company to have full control over operations, is also expected to boost results. However, high costs associated with restaurant operations might hurt its profitability in the future. Further, dismal performance of international franchise comparable sales at Chili's restaurants is a major concern. The company is plagued with intense competition characterizing the industry."

- 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "We maintain our Buy rating and $58 price target on Brinker International (EAT) following yesterday’s Investor Day conference at the company’s headquarters in Coppell, TX." (8/16/2019)
- 3. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We believe Chili’s company-owned stores are likely to continue the trend of outperforming franchised stores given the high company-owned coastal and Texas exposure (a relative outperformer during the quarter). Our FY20e Chili’s company-owned SSS growth remains 1.5% (vs. cons. 1.5% and FY19e SSS of 2.3%) with our base case assumption being that delivery with DoorDash partially offsets lower value lift (lapping 3 for $10) and Chili’s recent industry outperformance (see Figure 3) can continue amid likely slowing industry trends. We are increasing cons. $4.01) based on the accretive acquisition of 116 franchised locations from ERJ (EVRe ~2pp accretive; see Figure 1) and labor productivity. Our target moves from $40 to $42 and is based on a 10x $4.21 multiple which equates to an 11.8% FY21 FCF yield." (8/13/2019)
