Chili's-led turnaround firing: 21.9% revenue and 147% earnings growth, with cash flow surging — but margins are still thin.
Revenue $5.38B · FY2025
The read
Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~78% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.
Brinker International, parent of Chili's and Maggiano's, is executing one of the strongest casual-dining turnarounds in the market. FY2025 revenue jumped 21.9% to $5.38B and net income surged 146.7% to $383M, with diluted EPS up 144.7% to $8.32 — a step-change from the $103-155M net-income range of FY2023-FY2024. The gains are operating-led: operating income rose 123.0% to $512M, lifting the operating margin to 9.5%, evidence that strong same-restaurant traffic and pricing are dropping through to profit, not just one-time items.
The cash story confirms the quality. Operating cash flow grew 60.9% to $679M, comfortably funding $265M of capex (up 33.4%, reinvesting in the recovery) and $90.2M of buybacks (up 249.6%). Equity rebounded sharply (to $371M from a tiny base) and retained earnings nearly tripled to $187M, repairing a balance sheet that had been thinned by years of buybacks. At $165 the stock trades at 19.8x earnings and just 1.4x sales — a reasonable, not stretched, multiple for a business compounding revenue in the low-20s.
