Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hospitality & Leisure. Price $207.41, market value $8.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 18.3×** (5-yr avg 16.6×, 3-yr avg 19.4×). Brinker International Inc. trades at 18.3× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 16.6×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 13.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.45**. A PEG of 0.45 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 21.7×**. The shares trade at 21.7× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.0%** (5-yr avg 6.7%). Free cash flow equals 7.0% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 6.7%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 5.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 11.0%**. 11.0% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 8.4%**. 8.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 109.8%**. A 109.8% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 66.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 66.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 17.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 17.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 7.9%** (3-yr 12.0%/yr, 5-yr 11.7%/yr). Revenue grew 7.9% over the last year, against 11.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 30.6%** (3-yr 68.3%/yr, 5-yr 30.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 30.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 98.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 98.4% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.00**. Debt is 1.00 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Interest coverage: 12.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 12.0× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.45** (quick 0.45). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
