TXRH

In the past six months (March 2026 to September 2026), Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) stock trended down by 2.79%. During Q1 2026 earnings reported on May 7, 2026, the company reported an EPS of $1.87, with same-store sales jumping 7.1% year-over-year, driven by a 4.5% increase in traffic and 3.1% from pricing, while to-go sales constituted 14.6% of weekly sales, and management lowered its expectations for annual commodity inflation to between 6% and 7%. For Q2 2026 earnings reported on August 6, 2026, Texas Roadhouse achieved record average weekly sales, with comparable sales rising 6.2% and positive customer traffic, and revenue increased by 11.1% to $1.68 billion with earnings at $1.85 per share; however, shares retreated sharply due to broader concerns about consumer spending, inflation, and rising operating costs, particularly the cost of beef, leading management to subsequently lower its full-year commodity inflation forecast. The company has also been the subject of various analyst updates, including an 'Outperform' rating from Baird and a 'Buy' initiation from Seaport Research, with price targets raised by BofA, Piper Sandler, and Morgan Stanley. The broader restaurant sector has faced challenges, with soft August dining traffic weighing on performance.
