Can Darden Restaurants Survive Another COVID-19 Lockdown?

Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) had a special advantage over many of its casual dining rivals as it had an established and robust off-premise business in place when the pandemic hit. Shares of Darden are down 24% year to date, though they've rallied from the stock market's low point, more than tripling in value. Restaurants will struggle even if dining rooms aren't closed.
