Brinker International Targets Aggressive Chili’s Expansion Through 2029
Brinker International is doubling down on its flagship Chili’s brand, unveiling a long-term growth strategy during its 2026 Investor Day in Dallas. The company aims to ramp up unit development while maintaining double-digit earnings growth, betting that its recent operational turnaround will sustain momentum through the end of the decade.
To balance this physical expansion with shareholder returns, the company is targeting double-digit annual percentage growth in net income per diluted share. Furthermore, Brinker plans to execute share repurchases of 3% to 5% annually, contingent on future board approvals. These financial objectives follow a four-year period of internal transformation aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing the customer experience across its global portfolio, which spans over 1,600 locations.
