Ruby Tuesday (New York symbol RT) owns 676 restaurants in the U.S. Franchisees run another 140 U.S. outlets, and international franchisees operate 58 restaurants overseas.

Ruby Tuesday is one of the stocks we analyze in Stock Pickers Digest, our newsletter for aggressive investing.

Ruby Tuesday offers casual American dining. The company’s fall menu contains a number of new offerings, including Fit & Trim entrees, complimentary garlic cheese biscuits, additional side items and an improved Sunday brunch.

In the three months ended November 30, 2010, overall sales rose 6.2% to $290.4 million from $273.4 million a year earlier. The aggressive investing stock’s same-restaurant sales rose 4.2%.

Ruby Tuesday earned $4.6 million, or $0.07 a share. That’s much better than the $431,000, or $0.01 a share, it earned a year earlier. The higher sales were part of the reason for the increase. Ruby Tuesday also did a good job of controlling its costs.
