Description: EAT Brinker International January 08, 2026

Brinker International Inc. (NYSE:EAT) owns, develops, operates, and franchises the casual-dining concepts Chili’s Grill & Bar and Maggiano’s Little Italy, with a footprint across the United States and select international markets. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company is listed as a common-stock restaurant sub-industry within the GICS framework.

In FY 2023 Brinker generated approximately $3.5 billion in revenue, with franchisee contributions accounting for roughly 30 % of total sales-a ratio that has been rising as the firm leans on a lower-cost, asset-light growth model. Comparable-restaurant sales (comp-sales) grew 4 % YoY in Q4 2023, driven by modest menu price increases and a rebound in discretionary spending. Key economic sensitivities include labor-cost inflation, commodity price volatility (particularly beef and dairy), and consumer confidence, which together shape same-store sales trends across the casual-dining sector.
