As opposed to the high growth AI stocks, Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT)'s shares have performed comparably well in the year's first half. On April 29th, the shares closed 14.5% higher.

In January, as Cramer discussed Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT), he mentioned cattle prices:
"Look Kevin Hochman's done a great job. The stock really dipped big when cattle prices went way up. I'm glad to see it's coming back. I think he's got cattle price under control. He has a $10 meal, and most people don't have that, it's actually pretty terrific, people should try it."
During the third quarter earnings call, Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT)'s management also discussed the prices:
"But there's always puts and takes, but there is going to be pressure with beef. I mean that's clearly out there. Luckily, that's not the total basket for us. We're a varied menu, so we have different opportunities. Obviously, we sell a lot of chicken as well. But yes, we're going to continue to see pressure in commodities as we move forward. It will probably be similar levels that you've seen us in the past or this last half of the year, we've had that mid-single-digit inflation. So I'm anticipating that will be something similar as we move forward into F '27."
While we acknowledge the potential of EAT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
