TPL vs DRI Comparison

Texas Pacific Land Corp is mainly engaged in the sales and leases of land owned, retaining oil and gas royalties, and the overall management of the land owned. It operates its business in two reportable segments; Land and Resource Management and Water Service and Operations. The Land and Resource Management segment focuses on managing surface acres of land and its oil and gas royalty interests, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. The Water Services and Operations segment encompasses the business of providing full-service water offerings to operators, produced-water treatment, infrastructure development, and disposal solutions. The company generates the majority of its revenue from the Land and Resource Management segment.

Darden Restaurants is the largest restaurant operator in the US full-service space, with consolidated revenue of $11.4 billion in fiscal 2024 resulting in 3%-4% full-service market share (per NRA data and our calculations). 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 through the traditional grocery channel contribute modestly. As of the end of its fiscal 2024, the company operated 2,031 restaurants in the US.
