Brinker International is flying high on the strong performance of its Chili’s chain, which is defying an industry-wide slowdown, but an analyst warns that the momentum might be tough to sustain given tougher comparison rates going forward.Still, CEO Kevin Hochman expressed confidence, citing improving fundamentals and a greater marketing push. "Our operations have gotten so much stronger," he told CNBC in an interview.&nbsp;"Margins are at 18% vs. 12% in recent years, and our AUVs are so much higher." For the next three years, the focus will be on fundamentals and reimaging, he said.&nbsp;Brinker, which also operates Maggiano’s chain, published strong fourth-quarter results and a full-year outlook on Wednesday.Revenue rose to $1.46 billion from $1.21 billion, beating analysts' estimate of $1.17 billion.

Major chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Cava Group (CAVA), and Sweetgreen (SG) have reported weak numbers.Brinker shares rose 1.6% to $157.38 on Wednesday, and&nbsp;Barclays raised its price target on the stock to $170 from $166.
