Darden FY2026: sales up 9.4% to $13.21 billion, adjusted EPS up 11.4%

Darden closed fiscal 2026 with $13.21 billion of sales, up 9.4%, and adjusted EPS of $10.64, up 11.4% — a year management says significantly outperformed the industry. Every brand group posted positive same-restaurant sales and fiscal 2027 guidance of $11.10–$11.35 extends the growth, so the read leans positive. Just remember the extra 53rd week added $0.25 of EPS, a one-off that flatters the comparison.
