The selling is small versus the company's size and is dominated by a single director's routine diversification. No material signal — monitor next earnings or any follow-on insider buying cluster for a directional read. The 25% T+20 win rate on prior EAT reports suggests model-derived signals on this name have been poor; treat this cluster as noise.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
A cluster of insider selling at Brinker International totals ~$2.89M in open-market sales over the past week. While the dollar value is modest relative to the $9.6B market cap (0.03%), the selling includes an SVP (Chief Legal Officer) and a board director, and occurs alongside executive grants and tax withholding. The historical calibration for this filing type shows weak predictive power for cluster sells, and the dollar amount is disproportionate enough to warrant only a neutral read.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- Total open-market selling: ~$2.89M, representing ~0.03% of EAT's $9.6B market cap (trivial vs. company size).
- Two insiders sold on the open market: CFO Daniel Fuller (1.9K shares, $484K) and Director Joseph DePinto (25K shares, $5.76M).
- All non-cash transactions (grants/awards to CEO, CFO, COO, and 8 directors) were at $0 and carry no economic signal.
- CEO Kevin Hochman and CFO Michaela Ware had tax-withholding share surrenders, not discretionary sales.
Financial Impact
Total open-market sales of ~$2.89M, 0.03% of market cap — negligible direct impact.
Risk Factors
- Continued insider selling by C-suite would be more concerning, but current pattern is typical post-vesting.
- Restaurant sector cyclicality could pressure earnings, but insider activity does not flag this.
