momentum and earnings growth from US Investment Report Editor Stephen Quickel.
“Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (BLMN) is a five-legged blend of well-differentiated
restaurant chains — including Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish
Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Roy’s — with 1,450 locations in 48 states and

strength of 18% a year earnings growth and Strong Buy/Buy recommendations by 9
of 10 analysts tracking it. Buy. Target Price: 25. Suggested Loss Limit: 19.1.”
