POSITIVE IMPACT
Darden Restaurants shows a mixed but generally positive analyst sentiment, with an average 12-month price target of $186.05, indicating potential for stock price growth. Fiscal 2023 revenue growth and strong financial metrics suggest a solid market position, despite a high debt-to-equity ratio.
