Darden Restaurants delivers steady revenue growth to $12.1B in FY2025, underpinned by strong 7.2% same-store sales at LongHorn Steakhouse and resilient full-service dining demand. Margins are intact with operating income of $1.36B and robust free cash flow of $1.04B, supporting shareholder returns. However, the stock trades at a slight P/E premium (21.3x vs. peer median 20.5x), and persistent insider selling—net disposals of $16.6M over 24 months—caps upside, making a hold the prudent call.
