Restaurant stock #2: Darden Restaurants (DRI)


Restaurant stock #2: Darden Restaurants (DRI)Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) is a large player in the casual dining space. Names in its stable include Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and LongHorn Steakhouse.

With that diversification of offerings, DRI held up better than some in the restaurant space. As such, the recovery from the bottom has meant doubles instead of the triples or more.

DRI currently trades at around $34 per share -- which is cheap in my book. I would be a buyer of growth despite the gains in the near term. I rate DRI an A or Strong Buy.

Up next: Restaurant stock #3: Landry's Restaurants (LNY).
