Jim Cramer’s 20 Stock Calls: Microsoft, SoFi, and Tech Earnings Recap

9. Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT)

Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money recently as he recapped mega-cap tech earnings. Cramer highlighted the market reaction following the company’s earnings report, as he remarked:

This morning, we got one of those better-than-feared quarters from Brinker International, parent of Chili’s and Maggiano’s, and that was enough to send the stock up double digits. I love that. While it’s still down from its early 2025 highs, investors were braced for a disaster somehow, and instead they got just a real good number.

All of January was soft because of bad weather. Then February and March were much stronger. I love that, what’s known as cadence. Plus, management raised the low end of their full-year earnings forecast. Stock had sold off hard going into the quarter on worries about rising costs and state of the consumer. So these numbers were enough to send it flying. Management also said, April’s off to a strong start. So I bet you we’re going to get some analysts saying good things tomorrow.

Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) owns, operates, and franchises casual dining restaurants under the Chili’s Grill & Bar and Maggiano’s Little Italy brands.
