Shares of Brinker International, the parent company of Chili’s, dropped 14% despite reporting strong third-quarter growth, with comparable sales at Chili’s up 31% and revenue rising 27.2% to $1.43 billion. CEO Kevin Hochman attributed the success to excellent food and service, but investors were disappointed by guidance that fell short of expectations, even as the company raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EPS forecasts. Although Brinker has demonstrated significant demand for Chili’s, concerns linger about the sustainability of this momentum amid broader economic fears.
