Q3 earnings call today powers restaurant sector sentiment as jobs data weighs

Darden Restaurants is preparing to release Q3 2026 earnings today at 8:30 AM EDT with analysts projecting 5.6% revenue growth, though the stock declined 0.78% to $204.60 in premarket following a recent jobs report showing 30,000 restaurant and bar job losses. The recent U.S. employment data has pressured sentiment around the company amid concerns over inflation and consumer spending. Citi raised the firm's price target on Darden to $235 from $234 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares.
