Darden Restaurants, Inc.
A company that runs some of America's best-known sit-down restaurant chains, including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Yard House, and Ruth's Chris. It traces back to 1938, when founder Bill Darden opened a small luncheonette in Georgia, and later launched Red Lobster in 1968 — deliberately in inland Lakeland, Florida, to prove seafood could thrive far from the coast. The company was spun off from General Mills in 1995 and carries its founder's name.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -965.8K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
