Strong Fiscal Q4 2018 Earnings Have Driven Darden’s Valuation

Strong Fiscal Q4 2018 Earnings Have Driven Darden’s Valuation

Due to the high visibility in Darden Restaurants’ (DRI) earnings, we have opted for the forward PE multiple. Darden’s strong fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and optimistic fiscal 2019 outlook have led to a rise in its stock price and its valuation multiple. As of June 21, Darden was trading at a forward PE multiple of 19.6x compared to 17.2x before the announcement of its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings.
