Texas Roadhouse is projected to post Q1 2026 revenue of $1.64 billion and EPS of $1.86, as the stock trades near $157.25 compared to a $195.14 average analyst target.
Investors are primarily focused on comparable restaurant sales, which showed a robust 8.2% increase in the first seven weeks of the quarter.
This momentum is vital as the company faces a 7% commodity inflation forecast and 3% to 4% wage growth. Analysts are watching if continued traffic growth and menu price adjustments can successfully protect restaurant margins against these persistent input cost pressures.
