The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- DRI closes above its 50-day average ($211.17), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($206.10): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $226.35, DRI is 3.3% below its 1-year high of $233.98, set on November 5, 2026, and 33.9% above its 1-year low of $169.00 (November 20, 2025).
- Over the past month DRI rose 12.9%, from $200.52 to $226.35.
- DRI trades at 22.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 18.3x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 20.3% higher.
- Its P/E is 31.7% below the 32.2x median of the 3 other restaurants companies we track (MCD, SBUX, CMG).
- DRI's 30-day volatility, 27.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.7%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.63: over five years of monthly returns, DRI moved about 0.63% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $211.17 (−6.7% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $206.10 (−8.9%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $233.98 (+3.4%) would be a new 1-year high; below $169.00 (−25.3%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for DRI, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under restaurants among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
