What is Brinker International (EAT), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Brinker sells meals and the restaurant experience through company-operated, managed and franchised locations rather than merely collecting franchise royalties.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Brinker sells meals and the restaurant experience through company-operated, managed and franchised locations rather than merely collecting franchise royalties. Its reported revenue therefore reflects a mix of direct restaurant sales and licensing economics across domestic and international markets.
Chili’s drives group performance; Maggiano’s is a meaningful brand but a much smaller revenue contributor. Consolidated results should consequently be read mainly as a measure of Chili’s scale and operating execution, with Maggiano’s providing limited diversification.
What do the latest results show for Brinker International (EAT)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q4 FY2026, carried revenue of $1.54B.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Annual revenue and net income extended their rise, while the latest quarter delivered the highest revenue in the reported sequence. Net income also advanced, although operating profit eased from the immediately preceding period, indicating that incremental sales did not flow through uniformly.
Because Chili’s contributes most of Brinker’s revenue, the group improvement primarily reflects stronger economics across that restaurant base rather than a balanced contribution from the portfolio. In the latest earnings release, revenue edged past consensus while reported earnings per share came in just below it, a mixed result after a run of more decisive earnings beats.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Brinker International (EAT)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $110.00M at the Jun 24, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $217.60M for the quarter ended Jun 24, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Restaurant operations have produced positive cash flow throughout the reported quarterly sequence, and operating cash generation has consistently exceeded capital spending. The cash balance has also risen sharply from its earlier level, giving Brinker more immediate liquidity than it carried through much of the period.
Debt remains far larger than cash, while short-term liquidity ratios are lean and leverage is elevated relative to equity. Favorable distress and quality screens do not remove that structural exposure: a sustained setback at Chili’s could compress profit and cash generation at the same time the balance sheet still requires servicing.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

| Mar 25, 2026 | $232.10M | −$51.20M |

USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Brinker International (EAT)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 4, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The upcoming report should be judged on the relationship among Chili’s-led revenue, operating profit and cash after capital spending. Sales growth that arrives without comparable operating-profit conversion would weaken the recent improvement, while continued cash generation would strengthen the balance-sheet story.
Consensus expects annual revenue and earnings to keep expanding across the forecast horizon. Watch whether reported results stay near that path, whether cash continues building, and whether debt begins to decline rather than merely becoming more manageable through higher earnings.
How does Brinker International compare with its peers?
Short answer
Brinker International's score ranks 1st of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Brinker differs from a broadly diversified restaurant group because nearly all of its scale sits inside Chili’s, while Maggiano’s remains comparatively small. That concentration gives investors a clearer operating signal than a sprawling collection of concepts, but it also leaves little portfolio cushion if Chili’s demand or restaurant economics weaken.
Its economics also combine direct restaurant operations with managed and franchised locations. Comparisons based only on system footprint or brand count can therefore miss how much consolidated performance depends on sales and costs inside Brinker-operated restaurants.

EAT Consumer Cyclical Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
How dependent is Brinker International on Chili’s rather than Maggiano’s?
Chili’s supplies the overwhelming majority of segment revenue, so changes in that brand dominate Brinker’s consolidated sales and profit trajectory. Maggiano’s adds concept diversity but cannot currently offset a material Chili’s setback.
Does Brinker turn restaurant cash flow into cash after capital spending?
Operating cash flow exceeded capital spending throughout the reported quarterly sequence. That pattern supports internal funding capacity, although debt service and reinvestment still compete for the resulting cash.
Why does Brinker's debt matter despite its rising cash balance?
Cash has climbed markedly, but it remains small beside total debt and liabilities. Lean short-term liquidity ratios make sustained restaurant cash generation more consequential than the cash increase alone suggests.
Did Chili’s scale translate into an earnings beat for Brinker?
The latest release paired a modest revenue beat with earnings per share just below consensus. Earlier releases were generally stronger against expectations, so the latest result warrants attention to operating-profit conversion rather than sales alone.

Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
