Why These 10 Companies Were Heavily Sold Down

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

Brinker International, owner of the Chili’s brand and Maggiano’s Little Italy, saw its share prices drop by 14.80 percent on Tuesday to close at $136.89 apiece as investors, still reeling from the uncertainties globally, appeared to have shunned the company’s strong performance in the third quarter of the fiscal year.

In its latest earnings release, Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) said net income expanded by 144 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 to end at $119.1 million versus the $48.7 million registered in the same period a year earlier.

Total revenues increased by 27 percent to $1.4 billion from $1.1 billion year-on-year.

Looking ahead, the company expects total revenues for the full fiscal year to settle between $5.33 billion and $5.35 billion, while earnings per share are pegged at a range of $8.5 to $8.75.

“Chili’s delivered another positive quarter in our turnaround with +31% same-store sales driven by +21% traffic,” said Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) President and CEO Kevin Hochman. ”Our continued progress on the fundamentals of great food, great service in a fun, friendly atmosphere is clearly winning with guests.”
