What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
DRI posted a mixed Q4 with adjusted EPS of $3.66 beating consensus, while revenue of $3.719B narrowly missed.

The combination of earnings strength and higher target prices suggests near-term upside, though revenue softness and execution risk warrant watchful optimism.
