Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 28

Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE:DRI) runs full-service restaurants and is home to popular brands like Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse. Cramer noticed the company stock’s recent gain as he said:

“There’s some real crazy stuff that happened today. If you offered a value meal, your stock went up higher. Brinker, Darden, Dutch Bros, McDonald’s, Starbucks, they all moved higher.”

In December 2024, discussing Darden (NYSE:DRI), Cramer said:

“Take a look at the stock of Darden today, the parent of Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse, it’s up almost 15%. Now, these places are not cheap… One of my favorites is not cheap… Despite the prices, Darden numbers are outstanding and that’s because all of these prices… they actually represent premium value. 14 bucks for an endless pasta bowl is a good deal. 35 smackers for a dynamite porterhouse cut? I know it sounds like a lot, but go compare it to other steakhouses, you’ll find it is a steal.”
