10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

In the current market session, Brinker International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) stock price is at $173.78, after a 1.22% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 29.71%, and in the past year, by 138.41%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Brinker International P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 68.39 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, Brinker International Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 24.47. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748966418_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

MAC Copper, ATS, Pony AI And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Tuesday

While President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; is expected to reduce taxes and &#8220;put more money in people&#8217;s pockets,&#8221; experts argue whether the tax cuts will cater to the value or growth stocks within the U.S. economy.
What Happened: The new tax bill is expected to eliminate taxes on social security benefits, tips, and overtime, which will be a big &#8220;windfall for many Americans,&#8221; according to Louis Navellier, the founder and CIO at Navellier &amp; Associates.
Additionally, the bill also proposes a $40,000 state and local tax (SALT) deduction. However, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that this bill will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">add about $3.8 trillion</a> to the federal government&#8217;s $36.2 trillion in debt over the next decade. 
Navellier, who expects interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the coming months of 2025, said that &#8220;When you put more money in people&#8217;s pockets, consumers cannot help themselves, so retail sales tend to rise.&#8221;
He expects stocks like Brinker International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) and CAVA Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>) to benefit as consumer spending at bars and restaurants rose 1.2% in April.
&#8220;As far as growth vs. value is concerned, I expect the Act to boost consumer spending and confidence, so growth stocks will beat value stocks,&#8221; he said.
However, Julia Khandoshko, the CEO at the European broker Mind Money, highlighted the current wait-and-watch stance by the Federal Reserve and said, &#8220;When rates rise, growth stocks suffer, and value stocks become more attractive.&#8221;
While tax cuts represent an expansionary fiscal policy, the Fed&#8217;s current stance of holding interest rates is indicative of contractionary monetary policy. Economic theories suggest that in a mixed environment like this, interest rates might rise, potentially dampening the effects of the expansionary fiscal policy.

Why It Matters: Notably, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting, a 73.1% probability of no change in July.
Whereas, it expects 65.1%, 83.9%, and 94.8% chances of a cut in September, October, and December meetings, respectively.
Apart from growth stocks like EAT and CAVA, Navellier highlighted that &#8220;data centers are booming,&#8221; and he owns growth companies like Argan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGX#NYSE">AGX</a>), Emcor Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EME#NYSE">EME</a>), Comfort Systems USA Inc.

Khandoshko also highlighted that the taxes &#8220;may look effective in the short term,&#8221; but since capital gains and interest income are taxed differently, &#8220;such measures create distortions that can hit the system.&#8221;
While Jerome Powell has reiterated that &#8220;The right thing to do is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45266366/powell-flags-sharp-tariff-shock-elevated-uncertainty-fed-sticks-to-wait-and-see-mode">await further clarity</a>&#8221; on the economy and effects of fiscal policy, it remains to be seen how growth and value stocks will be affected by the combination of fiscal and monetary policies. 
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Thursday.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Deciphering Transaction Codes in Insider Filings</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets rebounded this week, fully recovering losses incurred since President Donald Trump's April 2 tariff escalation. The S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq each rose by more than 1.3%, with Friday marking the S&amp;P 500's ninth consecutive daily gain — the longest streak since 2004.
The rally was fueled by a stronger-than-expected April jobs report, with 177,000 jobs added, surpassing forecasts of 135,000. Unemployment remained at 4.2%, and sectors like healthcare and transportation led job growth. However, Q1 GDP contracted by 0.3%, the largest drop since 2022, largely due to a surge in imports ahead of tariff implementations.
Corporate earnings contributed to market optimism. Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) exceeded Wall Street estimates, with Microsoft posting its best weekly performance in years. Despite these gains, concerns linger about the long-term economic impact of tariffs, as businesses face uncertainty and potential cost increases.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Brinker International, Lowers Price Target to $155

Brinker International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) shares fell on Tuesday after it reported third-quarter FY25 earnings. The company owns and operates brands like Chili's Grill &amp; Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy.
The company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45061910/brinker-international-reports-third-quarter-of-fiscal-2025-results-and-updates-fiscal-2025-guidanc" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter revenue growth of 27.2%</a> year-on-year to $1.43 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.39 billion. Adjusted EPS of $2.66 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the analyst consensus</a> of $2.57.
Brinker's comparable restaurant sales rose 28.2%, Chili's rose 31.6%, and Maggiano's by 0.4%.
Operating margin expanded 480 basis points to 11%, and operating income more than doubled to $156.9 million for the quarter.

The restaurant operating margin for the quarter was 18.9%, compared to 14.2% last year.
As of March 26, 2025, the company held $17.5 million in cash and equivalents. Operating cash flow for the nine months totaled $493 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of $220.6 million improved by 80% Y/Y.
"Our continued progress on the fundamentals of great food, great service in a fun, friendly atmosphere is clearly winning with guests," said Kevin Hochman, President &amp; CEO.
On the earnings call, Brinker said that roughly 20% of its food and beverage purchases are imported. The tariffs on imported goods could raise input costs and hurt margins.
Outlook: Brinker raised its FY25 revenue outlook from $5.15 billion—$5.25 billion to $5.33 billion—$5.35 billion, versus the consensus of $5.25 billion.
The company raised FY25 Adjusted EPS guidance from $7.50 &#8211; $8.00 to $8.50 &#8211; $8.75, against the consensus of $8.48.
Price Action: EAT shares closed lower by 14.80% to $136.89 on Tuesday.
