Last Thursday, Darden Restaurants Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dri#NYSE">DRI</a>) issued weaker than expected fiscal first quarter earnings as fine dining restaurants and Olive Garden struggled with lower sales.&nbsp;
Fiscal first quarter highlights show summer sales fell short of expectations.
For the quarter ended on August 25th, Darden reported revenue grew 1% YoY to&nbsp;$2.76 billion, coming short of LSEG&rsquo;s consensus estimate of $2.8 billion, but same store sales declined 1.1%. Like its restaurant peers, Darden&rsquo;s traffic struggled during summer, presumably due to increased travel. Moreover, Olive Garden reported that same-store sales contracted by 2.9% while fine dining suffered an even sharper drop of 6%. The only chain to report sales growth was LongHorn Steakhouse, with an increase of 3.7%. Net income rose from last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter to $207.2 million, or $1.74 per share. Excluding costs brought on by July&rsquo;s acquisition of Chuy&rsquo;s, adjusted earnings amounted to $1.75 per share.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
Darden expects the Chuy&rsquo;s deal to close during the current, fiscal second, quarter. This is also when the results of its second acquisition in two years, Ruth&rsquo;s Chris Steak House will appear in its same-store sales figures.
Despite a challenging quarter, Darden reaffirmed its fiscal 2025-year guidance. For the full fiscal year, Darden guided for net sales in the range between $11.8 billion and $11.9 billion, with earnings from continuous operations ranging from $9.40 to $9.60 per share.&nbsp;
Despite a gloomy quarter, CEO Rick Cardenas&nbsp;has not lost confidence.
While acknowledging that results were below expectations, Cardenas is confident that the initiatives that the company took to boost its revenue and address their guests&rsquo; needs, including its first partnership with Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>), will bring the desired improvements shortly, without damaging the long-term picture. With the two-year exclusive deal with Uber, Darden ended its resistance to third-party delivery, something it wasn&rsquo;t willing to give up even during the pandemic times during which Uber thrived. In an effort to lure back customers, Olive Garden will be bringing back its &lsquo;Never Ending Pasta Bowl&rsquo; promotion a month earlier than usual, along with a three-week extension compared to last year. Like its industry peers, Darden is adjusting to a challenging macroenvironment with value promotions, menu revamping and strategic partnerships. Here&#39;s to hoping that Uber will help Darden to boost its sales and that the summer slump was just a blip.&nbsp;

On Wednesday, Emergent BioSolutions Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBS#NYSE">EBS</a>) said it secured approximately $400 million in orders in 2024 and 2025 associated with its vaccinia, smallpox, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g41021297/emergent-biosolutions-confirms-approximately-400-million-in-orders-in-2024-2025-to-support-smallpo" rel="noreferrer noopener">mpox product portfolio</a>.
What Happened: The order includes the previously disclosed&nbsp;U.S. government contract modification&nbsp;to procure ACAM2000 (Smallpox and Mpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live), as well as CNJ-016&nbsp;[Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] (VIGIV) contract options exercised <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39602092/why-is-vaccine-maker-emergent-biosolutions-stock-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">in&nbsp;2023&nbsp;and&nbsp;2024</a>.
To date, in 2024, nearly $210 million in customer orders have been delivered for ACAM2000&nbsp;and VIGIV.
For the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, Emergent is confirmed to deliver more than $185 million in ACAM2000 and VIGIV orders.
&#8220;Emergent continues to be a trusted partner to supply medical countermeasures for biodefense and global health preparedness, and these incremental orders demonstrate our ongoing leadership to help address serious viral threats like smallpox and mpox,&#8221; said Joe Papa, president and CEO of Emergent.
Why It Matters: In August, the FDA approved Emergent BioSolutions&#8217; supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA)&nbsp;to expand the indication for ACAM2000 to include preventing mpox disease in individuals at high&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40649541/mpox-vaccine-emergent-biosolutions-smallpox-vaccine-gets-fda-nod-for-expanded-use-for-individuals" rel="noreferrer noopener">risk for mpox infection</a>.

In furtherance of its commitment to support mpox response efforts,&nbsp;Emergent has donated 50,000 doses of ACAM2000 for potential deployment across impacted countries across the African continent.
Last month, Emergent BioSolutions reported second-quarter 2024 sales of $254.7 million, down 25% year over year, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40226161/vaccine-maker-emergent-biosolutions-expects-deeper-losses-in-2024-stock-sinks" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $190 million</a>.
The company reported an adjusted EPS loss of $(2.32), more than double the $(1.05) reported a year ago,&nbsp;missing the consensus of $(0.94).
Emergent BioSolutions updated its 2024 Revenue guidance from $1 billion—$1.1 billion to $1.05 billion—$1.125 billion, versus the consensus of $1.03 billion.

Snowflake Unusual Options Activity For September 25

EIA Weekly Distillates Stocks A Draw Of 2.227M Vs A Draw Of 2.200M Est.; Build Of 0.125M Prior

By <a href="https://roboforex.com/beginners/analytics/forex-forecast/?utm_source=benzinga.com&amp;utm_medium=pr&amp;utm_campaign=rf_en_external_article_25092024&amp;utm_content=analysis&amp;utm_term=forecast">RoboForex Analytical Department</a>
The USD/JPY pair has found a stable footing around 143.22 as investors carefully analyse the recent comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. His remarks suggest that the BoJ is taking a measured approach to monetary policy adjustments, signalling a possible delay in interest rate hikes.
Governor Ueda emphasised the need to thoroughly analyse market and economic conditions before making policy decisions, indicating that immediate rate hikes are unlikely. He also highlighted external risks, including financial market volatility and uncertainties surrounding the US economy, which are critical considerations for Japan&#39;s monetary policy.
At its September meeting, the BoJ maintained the interest rate at 0.25% per annum, aligning with market expectations. Speculation suggests that the October meeting may not change the Monetary Policy Committee&#39;s structure. Still, by December, the BoJ might gather sufficient evidence to justify a rate increase.
The recent dip in the US dollar, spurred by weak consumer confidence figures in the US, has incidentally strengthened the yen. This shift has heightened expectations for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
<h3>Technical Analysis Of USD/JPY</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/usdjpyh4_35.png"><img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/usdjpyh4_35.png" style="height:275px; width:624px" /></a>
The USD/JPY is currently in a broad consolidation range centred around 143.43, extending to 144.66. The market has initiated a downward movement towards 142.55, testing this level from above. Subsequently, we anticipate a rebound to the upper boundary of this range. A breach above 144.70 could pave the way for a rise to 145.77, potentially extending to 146.66. Conversely, a decline to 142.00 and a subsequent breakdown could signal a trend continuation towards 137.77. The MACD indicator supports this bullish scenario, with its signal line positioned above zero and pointing upwards.

On the H1 chart, USD/JPY has crafted a consolidation range around 143.60, achieving the 142.90 local downside target. The pair is now moving upward towards 143.60, testing this level from below. The current setup suggests a retest of 143.60 could be followed by a new decline towards 142.55. The Stochastic oscillator, with its signal line above 50 and pointing upwards, corroborates this potential for a brief uptick followed by a continued downward trajectory.
