Is Darden Restaurants stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Darden Restaurants stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Darden Restaurants's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Darden Restaurants's P/E ratio
Darden Restaurants's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Darden Restaurants shares trade at around 23x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Darden Restaurants's PEG ratio
Darden Restaurants's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9045. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Darden Restaurants's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Darden Restaurants share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 46.5% of net profits
Recently Darden Restaurants has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Darden Restaurants shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Darden Restaurants's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While Darden Restaurants's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Darden Restaurants may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Darden Restaurants's most recent dividend payout was on 2 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Darden Restaurants's shares ever split?
Darden Restaurants's shares were
split on a 10000:8939 basis on 9 November 2015
. So if you had owned 8939 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Darden Restaurants shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 10.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Darden Restaurants shares which in turn could have impacted Darden Restaurants's share price.
Darden Restaurants share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Darden Restaurants's shares have ranged in value from as little as $133.6181 up to $203.473. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Darden Restaurants's is 1.272. This would suggest that Darden Restaurants's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
