<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Darden Restaurants's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Darden Restaurants's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Darden Restaurants?

The United States will be showered with love as 56% of its adults are planning to celebrate this Valentine&#39;s Day. About 28% of the population will observe the occasion. Spending would be a total of $27.5 billion (an average of $188.81 per person, up from $185.81 in 2024),&nbsp;<a href="https://nrf.com/research-insights/holiday-data-and-trends/valentines-day" target="_blank">per NRF</a>. The amount is up from last year&#39;s $25.8 billion and slightly above the previous record of $27.4 billion set in 2020.&nbsp;
Naturally, the day of love will translate into a great day for business. But exchanging chocolates, greeting cards, flowers, and precious metals as gifts may seem clich&eacute;d to some people lately. Instead, impress your loved one in a unique way with stocks of companies that are likely to do good business this Valentine&#39;s Day.
Let&#39;s dive a little deeper.
<h2>Candies, Cards &amp; Flowers Continue to Remain Age-Old Gift</h2>
About 56% of consumers are planning to buy candies, followed by greeting cards (40%) and flowers (40%). Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)&nbsp;Simply Good Foods (SMPL) is likely to be one of the best bets this year. When it comes to ETF investing, companies within First Trust Nasdaq Food &amp; Beverage ETF&nbsp;FTXG and Invesco Dynamic Food &amp; Beverage ETF&nbsp;PBJ should do good business on this day of love.
<h2>Gifting Precious Metals Is Ageless</h2>
Gifting jewelry this Valentine&#39;s Day has become more popular than ever before. About 22% of the population plans to spend on jewelry. Total spending on jewelry could touch a high of $6.5 billion, per NRF. Forget gifting precious metal in physical form, gift gold bullion ETF&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares&nbsp;GLD. It is up about 9% this year. Gold is considered to be a safe haven and may gain strength if stock volatility persists.
<h2>Gifting an Experience: An Emerging Trend</h2>
About 35% of people are planning an evening out and are likely to spend about $5.4 billion. In this regard, restaurant ETF&nbsp;AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF&nbsp;EATZ and experience ETFs like&nbsp;Amplify Travel Tech ETF AWAY&nbsp;should benefit. As far as stocks are concerned, Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) players&nbsp;Intercontinental Hotels Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ihg#NYSE">IHG</a>)and Darden Restaurants DRI are good bets.
<h2>Shopping Online: The Latest Fad</h2>
About 38% of consumers are planning to buy their Valentine&#39;s gifts online this year.&nbsp;ProShares Online Retail ETF&nbsp;(ONLN) is a beneficiary of the trend. With all the celebrations around, who can forget&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;AMZN, a hot destination for online shopping?
<h2>Dollar Store: A Winner Too?</h2>
Visiting department stores (34%) and discount stores (29%) would also remain in trend. Consumers will look for sales and promotions while celebrating Valentine&#39;s Day this year. Several discount retailers like Zacks Rank #2&nbsp;Costco&nbsp;COST may win from the trend and make&nbsp;VanEck Vectors Retail ETF&nbsp;RTH a gainer.

Options Exercise: Burrowes Todd At Darden Restaurants Realizes $1.16M

Barclays analyst Jeffrey A. Bernstein has outlined top themes to watch out for in the U.S. restaurants in 2025.
The restaurant industry, according to the analyst, is experiencing mixed results as it navigates a volatile environment heading into the third quarter of 2024.
A recent preview highlighted that many companies have struggled to meet expectations regarding same-store sales and earnings per share, noted the analyst.
Despite these challenges, most have shared optimistic outlooks on recent sales trends.
As 2024 progresses, the key focus remains the consumer outlook, which has been unpredictable. On a positive note, unemployment rates remain near record lows, and wages continue to rise, contributing to a healthy increase in real disposable income, the analyst added.
Inflation has also eased, allowing the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate changes, said the analyst.
However, the analyst warned that the cost of living, including high rent and basic expenses, continues to pressure consumers.
Consumer confidence has remained lower than pre-pandemic levels, and many restaurants are working to improve traffic by offering greater value in response to inflation concerns.
Commodity inflation, excluding coffee, has shown signs of normalization and December 2024 saw a year-on-year increase of around 16%, mainly driven by coffee prices, asserted the analyst.
Restaurants are expecting mid-single-digit inflation in 2025, assuming current prices hold and the industry is hoping for a more stable cost environment that can support margins amidst uncertain sales projections, added the analyst.
The analyst expressed concern about labor costs and said while wage inflation has slowed from the peaks seen during 2021 and 2022, December 2024 saw a year-on-year wage increase of 10.3%.
In menu pricing, restaurants are easing the aggressive price hikes seen in recent years and overall, the industry is moving towards smaller price increases as commodity and labor inflation stabilizes, said the analyst.
The analyst upgraded both Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) to Overweight from Equal Weight.
The analyst downgraded Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) and Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) to Equal Weight from Overweight.

Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Breaking Down the Significance of Transaction Codes</h3>
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Goldman Sachs: The analyst projects Darden Restaurants to continue benefiting from its scale, the strength of the LongHorn brand, and subsegment diversification, but uncertainties remain around Olive Garden and Fine Dining traffic.
The Uber partnership is anticipated to bring increased advertising dollars to Darden Restaurants, though management has indicated they will not promote the delivery option until the full rollout in Olive Garden stores, expected by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 or the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Stephens: Following the quarterly results, the analyst notes that the adjusted earnings per share estimate for fiscal year 2025 has been revised from $9.38 to $9.40, while EBITDA is adjusted from $1.939 billion to $1.962 billion.
For fiscal year 2026, the adjusted EPS estimate increases from $10.30 to $10.35, and EBITDA moves from $2.102 billion to $2.111 billion.
Truist Securities: The analyst notes that stronger-than-expected same-store sales at Olive Garden have increased confidence in both restaurant demand and the brand&#8217;s ability to gain market share through disciplined promotions.
These promotions will continue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and through the new national delivery partnership, which has tested well. With operating cost inflation decreasing and solid same-store sales performance, Darden Restaurants appears to be focusing on development, which is expected to accelerate in fiscal year 2026, supporting its valuation, Bartlett writes.
Oppenheimer: The analyst notes that they have increased their earnings per share estimates for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to $9.50 and $10.68, respectively, up from previous estimates of $9.46 and $10.61.
These new estimates are higher than the street&#8217;s consensus of $9.43 and $10.58. Bittner also sees potential for further positive revisions as sales levers are implemented.
Wedbush: Per the analyst, Darden Restaurants will continue gaining category share despite an uncertain consumer environment, which increases confidence in its ability to achieve long-term annual return targets.
The analyst writes that the FY25 EPS estimate has been raised to $9.55 from $9.50, and the FY26 EPS estimate has been increased to $10.64 from $10.32.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: The analyst writes that the Fine Dining segment remains a concern due to lower-to-middle-income consumers cutting back on aspirational purchases. However, Darden Restaurants&#8217; diversified portfolio helps offset these challenges.
Darden Restaurants now expects an earlier rollout of its third-party delivery partnership with Uber and sees an additional $2 million in synergies from its Chuy&#8217;s acquisition, the analyst notes.
Price Action: DRI shares are trading higher by 1.92% to $186.96 at last check Friday.

다든 레스토랑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>)은 목요일(19일) 개장 전 2분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다. 미국 최대 규모의 풀서비스 레스토랑 <a href="//www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41026880/darden-restaurants-business-confidence-remains-intact-despite-summer-slump"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">운영업체인 다든 레스토랑의 2분기 실적 전망에 대해 알아보자.</a>
알아야 할 내용: 다든 레스토랑은 식료품 가격 상승과 인력 부족 등의 문제에 직면했다. 인플레이션으로 인해 회사의 비용도 상승하여 많은 소비자들이 집에서 식사를 하게 되었다.
지난 9월에 실망스러운 1분기 실적을 발표했지만 2분기에는 회복의 조짐이 보이고 있다.
<a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/darden-restaurants-holiday-growth-ahead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Placer.ai 데이터</a>에 따르면, 2024년 7월부터 9월까지 올리브 가든(Olive Garden), 롱혼 스테이크하우스(LongHorn Steakhouse) 등 다든의 레스토랑을 방문한 고객 수는 2023년 같은 기간에 비해 0.9% 증가했다.
0.9% 방문자 증가율은 같은 기간 1.9% 감소한 전체 풀서비스 레스토랑 부문의 성장률을 상회하는 수치다.

기타: 다든 레스토랑은 다년간의 독점적 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40943086/darden-misses-q1-earnings-estimates-partners-with-uber-for-delivery-expansion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">배달 파트너십</a>을 통해 우버(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>)와의 독점 배달 파트너십을 통해 현금이 부족한 소비자들을 끌어들이기 위한 다양한 가치 프로모션과 메뉴 개편과 함께 매출 증대를 기대하고 있다.
예를 들어, 올리브 가든은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41026880/darden-restaurants-business-confidence-remains-intact-despite-summer-slump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인기 메뉴</a> &#8216;네버엔딩 파스타 볼&#8217; 프로모션을 2024년에 전년 대비 한 달 일찍, 3주 더 연장하여 진행한다.
다든 레스토랑은 목요일 개장 전에 2분기 실적을 발표하고 같은 날 오전 8시 30분(동부 표준시)에 컨퍼런스 콜을 개최하여 결과를 논의할 예정이다. <a href="//pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로</a> 추정치에 따르면 애널리스트들은 주당순이익 2.02달러, 매출 29억 달러를 예상하고 있다.
다든 레스토랑 주가 움직임: <a href="//pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로</a>에 따르면 화요일 주가는 1.26% 하락한 165.46달러에 마감했다.

S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 100이 월요일 상승세를 이어갔다. 이로써 두 지수는 모두 8일 연속으로 상승을 기록하며 연방준비제도(연준)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">금리 인하</a>를 앞두고 미국 경제 전망과 금융 상황이 개선됨에 따라 트레이더들이 낙관론을 유지하고 있는 것을 보여준다.
S&amp;P 500의 경우 이는 2024년 5월 이후 가장 긴 연승을 기록하는 반면, 기술주 중심의 나스닥 100은 2023년 10월 이후 이러한 연속 상승을 본 적이 없다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 월요일 0.95% 상승하여 7월 중순에 도달한 사상 최고치의 1% 이내로 마감했다. S&amp;P 500 기업 중 거의 95%가 2분기 실적을 보고했다. 팩트셋(FactSet)의 데이터에 따르면 이들 기업 중 79%가 주당순이익(EPS) 기대치를 초과했으며, 60%는 예상보다 높은 매출을 기록했다. S&amp;P 500의 전년 대비 혼합 실적 성장률은 10.9%로 2021년 4분기 이후 가장 높았다.
Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)를 통해 모니터링되는 나스닥 100은 1.3% 높게 마감했지만 사상 최고치보다 4.6% 낮은 수준을 유지하고 있다.
베테랑 월스트리트 투자자 에드 야데니(Ed Yardeni)는 월요일 메모에서 &#8220;지난주에는 근거 없는 미국 경기 침체에 대한 우려와 글로벌 금융 시장 불안이 도래하자마자 빠르게 사라졌다&#8221;고 썼다.
월요일 세션에서는 경제 데이터가 발표되지 않았지만 투자자들은 유명한 매파인 미니애폴리스 연은 총재인 닐 카시카리의 논평에 긍정적인 반응을 보였다. 그는 월스트리트 저널과의 독점 인터뷰에서 9월 금리 인하 가능성을 암시했다.
CME 그룹의 페드워치(FedWatch) 도구에 따르면 현재 시장 내재 확률은 9월에 25bp(베이시스 포인트) 인하할 확률이 77.5%이며, 50bp 인하할 가능성은 22.5%이다.
이번 주 트레이더들은 8월 22일부터 24일까지 예정된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40446287/investors-look-for-clues-on-september-rate-cut-at-jackson-hole-how-does-stock-mar" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">잭슨 홀 심포지엄</a>에서 주요 통화 정책 논의를 면밀히 지켜볼 예정이며, 제롬 파월 연준 의장이 금요일 오전 10시에 연설할 예정이다.
야데니는 &#8220;연준이 너무 많은 완화 조치를 취하고 추가 금리 인하에 대한 기대를 억제하지 않는다면 엔화는 다시 강세를 보여 캐리 트레이드 청산의 두 번째 물결을 촉발할 수 있다&#8221;고 경고했다.
