DRI Price vs Max Options Open Interest

How to read this: the line is the stock price; the bars show where the most option open interest sits each day. Strikes with heavy open interest often act as magnets or barriers for price ("max pain" zones). Scroll right for the most recent days.

DRI Max Change In Options Open Interest

How to read this: each bar is the option contract whose open interest changed the most yesterday. Green bars = new positions being opened (conviction building at that strike); red bars = positions being closed. Call builds above the current price suggest upside bets; put builds below it suggest hedging or downside bets.

Darden Restaurants is the largest restaurant operator in the US full-service space, with consolidated revenue of $12.1 billion in fiscal 2025. The company maintains a portfolio of 11 restaurant brands: Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, Ruth's Chris, Yard House, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Eddie V's, Bahama Breeze, The Capital Burger, and most recently, Chuy's. Darden generates revenue almost exclusively from company-owned restaurants, though a small network of franchised restaurants and consumer-packaged goods sales contribute modestly through the traditional grocery channel. As of the end of its fiscal 2025, the company operated 2,159 restaurants in the US.
