Significance 4/10

SVP/Chief Legal Officer Daniel Fuller sells 4,042 shares of EAT at $167.64; stock now $163.17, down 13.2% from 52-week high.

Daniel Fuller, SVP and Chief Legal Officer, sold 4,042 shares of Brinker International at $167.64, reducing his holdings by 9.2% to 40,087 shares. The transaction occurred at a price $4.47 above the current market price of $163.17, positioning the sale within the stock's elevated range (52-week high $187.95). Fuller's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior open-market sell with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, and his prior EAT sale on 2024-11-22 also did not precede a decline—the stock returned +22.0% over the subsequent 90 days. Brinker's fundamentals remain solid with $1.5B quarterly revenue, +22.0% annual growth, and a 15.64 P/E, though the recent 90-day rally of +43.5% may have provided the entry point for this discretionary sale.

Significance 5/10

CFO Ware Michaela M sold 5,000 shares of EAT at $162.40; holdings drop to 19,923 shares as stock trades -10.7% from 52-week high.

Ware Michaela M, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of Brinker International, sold 5,000 shares (representing a -20.1% reduction in her pre-transaction holdings) at $162.40 on 2026-02-05 for $812,000.00 total value. The sale occurs with EAT trading at a current price of $168.93, which is -10.7% from its 52-week high of $189.14, yet the stock has appreciated +8.1% over the prior 30 days and +64.6% over 90 days. At the same ticker, her prior two sales occurred on 2025-06-02 and 2024-11-08; the November 2024 sale achieved a +59.2% 90-day return, indicating the insider sold before a subsequent rally—a poorly-timed outcome by the sell-timing framework. The company shows robust fundamentals with $1.5B in latest-quarter revenue, $128.5M in net income, +22.0% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 16.20, suggesting operational strength. This transaction reduces her direct stake while the equity remains near multi-month highs, warranting observation of whether subsequent filings reveal additional disposition activity or shifts in management's capital allocation strategy.

Significance 4/10

White Aaron M (EVP, COO, CPO) sold 7,000 shares of EAT at $165.00 on 2026-02-04 for $1,155,000; post-transaction holdings 42,756 shares.

Aaron M White, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief People Officer at Brinker International, sold 7,000 shares at $165.00, reducing his holdings by 14.1% from 49,756 to 42,756 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of +2.6%, indicating his prior sale was followed by stock appreciation rather than decline. At EAT specifically, his single prior sale on 2025-05-14 also posted a +2.6% 90-day return, meaning that sale likewise proved poorly timed; neither his cross-ticker nor same-ticker history shows a pattern of well-timed sales. The company fundamentals remain solid with revenue of $1,452,200,000, net income of $128,500,000, annual revenue growth of +22.0%, and a P/E of 15.40, though the stock is currently -15.1% from its 52-week high of $189.14.

Significance 6/10

SVP/CMO Felix George sells 10,431 shares at $161.00 ($1.7M), reducing EAT holdings by 56.4%.

Felix George S, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, sold 10,431 shares at $161.00 on 2026-02-03, reducing his holdings from 18,495 to 8,064 shares—a 56.4% reduction in his position. The sale occurred when the stock was trading at levels 14.3% below its 52-week high of $189.14, while the company reports strong fundamentals including 22.0% annual revenue growth, a P/E of 15.54, and quarterly net income of $128,500,000.00. Notably, George's cross-ticker track record shows his prior sells have been well-timed at the 90-day mark (100.00% well-timed rate), with his previous EAT sale on 2025-08-26 delivering -16.4% and -11.9% returns at 30 and 90 days respectively—both negative outcomes that validated his earlier exit. The current sell follows a 58.4% gain in the prior 90 days, suggesting execution near a cyclical peak.

Significance 6/10

Director Harriet Edelman sold 8,400 shares of EAT at $159.00 on 2026-01-29; prior same-ticker sale was well-timed at 90-day mark with -27.6% return.

Harriet Edelman, a director at Brinker International, sold 8,400 shares (28.6% of her pre-transaction holding) for $1,335,600.00, reducing her stake from 29,404 to 21,004 shares. The sale occurred at $159.00, which was 14.3% below the 52-week high of $189.14 and represents a modest -2.8% discount to the current price of $162.12. Notably, Edelman's prior same-ticker sale on 2025-08-14 was well-timed, with a 90-day outcome of -27.6%, demonstrating a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines. While the company's fundamentals remain strong (revenue of $1.5B with 22.0% annual growth, net income of $128.5M, and a reasonable P/E of 15.54), the timing pattern of this director's prior disposition warrants investor attention given the historical precedent at this specific ticker.

Kevin Hochman, President & CEO of Brinker International, sold 66,000 shares (66.0K shares) at $160.31 on 2026-01-29 for $10,580,460.00 ($10.6M), reducing his post-transaction holdings to 129,824 shares (129.8K shares) from 195,824 shares (195.8K shares)—a reduction of 33.7% of his pre-transaction stake. His prior sell at this ticker (2025-08-27) demonstrated a 90-day return of -5.1%, and his cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of -5.1% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, indicating his historical sells have occurred before subsequent declines. The company's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of +22.0%, a P/E of 15.54, and latest-quarter revenue of $1,452,200,000.00 ($1.5B), suggesting the sale occurs in a context of strong operational performance. The stock has appreciated 7.0% over 30 days and 55.0% over 90 days from the sale date, trading at $162.12 currently, though 14.3% below its 52-week high of $189.14.

Significance 6/10

COO Douglas N. Comings sells 16,000 EAT shares ($2.5M) on 2025-09-09, reducing stake by 56.2% to 12.5K shares

Douglas N. Comings, SVP & COO of Chili's parent Brinker International, sold 16,000 shares at $156.48 on 2025-09-09, representing a 56.2% reduction in his holdings from 28.5K shares to 12.5K shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high ($189.14), with the current price at $154.55 down 18.3% from that peak. Comings' timing track record at EAT shows mixed results: 3 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent three sales in February 2025 each accompanied by significant 90-day declines (-5.4%, -18.0%, -26.1%). The magnitude of this divestiture—reducing his stake by more than half—combined with the prior pattern of successful 90-day sell timing at this ticker, suggests this warrants monitoring for what the insider's actions may signal about near-term stock direction.

The sale occurred at a price 1.5% above the current market price of $155.53 and 16.5% below the 52-week high of $189.14, during a period of recent stock weakness (down 2.5% over 30 days and 9.9% over 90 days).

Felix George S, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, executed a single open-market sale of 11,769 shares at $159.19, reducing his total holdings by 33.3% from 35,365 to 23,596 shares.

The company shows solid operational fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +22.0%, net income of $119,100,000.00, and a P/E of 12.38, indicating the sale occurs in a context of reasonable operational momentum and valuation. The transaction size and directional shift in holdings represent a material reduction in his personal exposure, though the significance is tempered by the company's strong growth trajectory and the absence of any concurrent insider buying or adverse signals in the filing data.
