Darden Restaurants beats earnings estimates, as Olive Garden parent predicts growth in 2026
Darden Restaurants on Friday beat Wall Street's earnings and revenue estimates, while the Olive Garden parent predicted solid growth for fiscal year 2026. Shares of Darden rose more than 2% in premarket trading Friday. Here's what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG: Darden reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $303.8 million, or $2.58 per share, compared with $308.1 million, or $2.58 per share, a year earlier. Excluding costs related to its Chuy's Tex Mex acquisition, Darden earned $2.98 per share for the fiscal fourth-quarter ended May 25. Net sales rose 10.6% to $3.3 billion, fueled in part by acquiring 103 Chuy's restaurants and 25 net new restaurants. The Orlando, Florida-based company's same-store sales rose 4.6%, beating StreetAccount estimates of 3.5%. For the full fiscal year 2026, Darden gave a forecast for revenue growth of 7% to 8%, including approximately 2% growth related to having an extra week in the year. It expects adjusted earnings to be in a range of $10.50 to $10.70 per share, including 20 cents related to the additional week. Despite signs of consumers pulling back on spending, Darden Restaurants CEO Rick Cardenas said in March during the company's third-quarter earnings call that dining out has remained a category where consumers continue to treat themselves and splurge. "Our strategy remains the right one for the company, and we will continue to execute it to drive growth and long-term shareholder value," he said in a release Friday. Darden's two standout brands, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, reported same-store sales growth that beat expectations. Olive Garden, which accounts for roughly 40% of Dardan's quarterly revenue, saw same-store sales rise 6.9%, beating analysts' expectations of 4.6%. LongHorn's same-store sales increased 6.7%, while analysts were anticipating growth of 5.3%. Darden's fine dining segment, which includes Ruth's Chris Steak House and The Capital Grille, reported a same-store sales decline of 3.3%, compared with the 0.2% decline expected. The company's remaining segment, which includes Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Yard House, saw same-store sales growth of 1.2%, compared to estimates of 1.1%. In March, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen became the next Darden brand, after Olive Garden, to pilot on-demand delivery through a partnership with Uber Direct. At that time, Darden said Cheddar's was conducting the pilot in 10 of its restaurants. The company also announced that on Wednesday, its board of directors authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date and replaces the previously existing share repurchase authorization. Darden Restaurants stock is up about 19% year-to-date.

The dominance of the narrow-body aircraft segment is underpinned by strong global demand for single-aisle jets, especially across commercial airline fleets. With increasing focus on fleet modernization, airlines are upgrading to newer models, such as the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX, which integrate advanced electromechanical actuators (EMAs) for flight control surfaces, landing gear operations, and other critical functions. The adoption of EMAs in narrow-body aircraft is primarily driven by their lower weight, better energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance needs compared to traditional hydraulic systems. Given the high production volumes of narrow-body aircraft and their extensive use in short- and medium-haul routes worldwide, this aircraft continues to attract significant EMA integration. Moreover, the push toward more electric aircraft and increasing passenger traffic in emerging markets further reinforce the segment's leading market position. Narrow-body platforms are increasingly seen as the foundation for technological upgrades, which makes them central to the EMA market landscape. By application, the flight control surface segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period. The flight control surface segment is projected to account for a significant market share, driven by the aviation industry's shift toward more electric aircraft and the growing need for precise, lightweight, and energy-efficient actuation systems. These actuators play a vital role in managing the aerodynamic behavior of an aircraft, enabling accurate control of ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps. As aircraft designs evolve, the demand for advanced EMAs in primary and secondary flight control systems continues to grow, especially in next-generation commercial jets and military platforms. Reduced maintenance needs, enhanced reliability, and better integration with digital flight control architectures have driven the move from hydraulic systems toward electromechanical solutions. With growing emphasis on performance optimization, weight reduction, and environmental efficiency, EMAs for flight control surfaces have become critical to modern aircraft programs. Inquiry Before Buying: North America is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period. North America remains at the forefront of the electromechanical actuators in aircraft industry, primarily due to its robust aerospace sector, rich engineering skills base, and drive towards more electric airplane designs. In recent years, there has been a well-documented shift from conventional hydraulic systems toward electromechanical systems, particularly for flight control and landing gear systems. This transformation is fueled by the need to shed weight, increase fuel economy, and make maintenance easier. Industry leaders such as Honeywell, Moog Inc., and Curtiss-Wright are at the forefront of this change, creating more sophisticated and reliable EMA technologies for commercial and defense applications. Regulatory incentives have also played a significant part. The FAA's emphasis on safety and electrification has driven broader usage of EMA systems throughout aging fleets and new airplanes. The region's robust supply base, large aircraft programs, and military modernization continue to drive demand for EMS. With increasing focus on testing, certification, and system integration, North America is emerging as a leading center for electromechanical actuator innovation and deployment. Honeywell International Inc. (US), Curtiss-Wright Corporation (US), Liebherr (Switzerland), and Ametek Inc. (US) are major players in the electromechanical actuators in aircraft companies. These companies have strong distribution networks across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Rest of the World.
