Darden Restaurants (DRI) – the owner of the Olive Tree and other popular middle-class chains – reports earnings Friday morning. The stock has had a great run over the last six months but I think it’s time to sell. As inflation and economic weakness squeeze consumers – especially middle-class ones – they are likely to eat out less. In addition, DRI is a little expensive after its big run at 19x FY23 guidance of $7.40-$8.00. I’d take profits – or even short – ahead of earnings.
