Darden price target raised to $160 from $150 at Stifel

Stifel analyst Chris O’Cull raised the firm’s price target on Darden to $160 from $150 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as the firm updated its estimates ahead of Darden reporting fiscal Q3 earnings in late March. The firm said it expects Darden to deliver blended comps "at least in line with the Street mean of 8.5%" growth based on strong industry sales performance in January and its review of mobile location data.
