-- 瑞銀證券週四在一份報告中指出，Brinker International (EAT) 2026財年全年業績預期上限有望實現，這主要得益於Chili's雞肉三明治的強勁上市以及各項銷售舉措的持續推進。 該券商預計，Chili's餐廳在第四財季的同店銷售額將實現中等個位數成長，客流量也將有所提升。報告還指出，在日常優惠、行銷、菜單優化、營運改善以及門市翻新帶來的長期效益的推動下，這一增長勢頭預計在2027財年延續。 瑞銀表示，Brinker未來的其他利多因素包括門市成長加速、Maggiano's餐廳最終扭虧為盈、穩健的資產負債表以及股票回購。 瑞銀維持對Brinker的「買進」評級，目標價為190美元。
