Valuation over time

How the market has priced DRI against its own fundamentals since 2023-03 — each month-end's share price set against the most recent annual filing, so the multiple moves as price runs ahead of (or behind) earnings. Split-adjusted.

Frequently asked questions

Is DRI growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Darden Restaurants's revenue has grown 12.9% per year, and net income grown 13.9% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does DRI have?

As of FY2026, Darden Restaurants reported $2.3B of total debt against $220M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 13×.

What is DRI's profit margin?

In FY2026, gross margin was 20.3%, operating margin 12.0%, and net margin 9.1%.

What is DRI's P/E ratio?

Darden Restaurants's P/E (TTM) is 21.33 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the DRI stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 20.9× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
