In fiscal 2025, Walmart posted a 4.3% operating margin on $681 billion in revenue. That's $29.3 billion in operating income.

Darden reported Q1 revenue of $3.04 billion, missing the $3.07 billion estimate, while EPS of $1.97 fell short of the $2.02 consensus.

Olive Garden generated $1.30 billion in revenue during the quarter, and LongHorn added $776 million. CEO Rick Cardenas said the company had "a strong start to the fiscal year with same-restaurant sales and earnings growth that exceeded our expectations."
