Brinker Posts $113.3M Net Income for Fiscal 1Q
EAT sits 92% above its 52-week low of $100.3 on elevated volume (1.9× avg).
Summary
Brinker reported fiscal first-quarter net income of $113.3 million, with EPS of $2.64 and revenue of $1.48 billion. The headline carries no comparable sales figure, so the quality of the quarter versus the 5% comps and 30% EPS growth posted in Q4 is not yet clear. Context matters here: management guided fiscal 2027 above consensus in August and laid out double-digit annual adjusted EPS growth through fiscal 2029 at the September investor day, so this print is the first check against those targets. The stock trades near $193 with a market cap around $8.2 billion, so a single quarter's earnings swing is meaningful but not thesis-breaking on its own.
At the time of this announcement, EAT was trading at $193.00 on NYSE in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.2B.
