The net profit margin of Darden Restaurants Inc. exhibits notable fluctuations over the analyzed period, reflecting changes in profitability relative to revenue. At the beginning of the observed timeframe, the net profit margin stood at approximately 9.98% as of August 28, 2022. It experienced a slight decline over subsequent months, reaching a low of approximately 7.45% by November 30, 2023. This decrease indicates periods of reduced profitability, potentially influenced by operational costs, competitive pressures, or broader economic conditions impacting margins.

The margin fluctuated within a range roughly between 8.36% and 10.47%, with some periods showing slight regressions, like the dip back to 8.69% on May 31, 2025.

Overall, the net profit margin reveals resilience and capacity for recovery after periods of compression. The range of approximately 7.45% to 10.87% indicates variability influenced by operational and macroeconomic factors, but the data suggests a trend toward stabilization and potential improvement in profit margins as the company navigates various market conditions.
