Texas Roadhouse Q1 Revenue Jumps 13% on Strong Comparable Sales, EPS Up 10%
TXRH is trading near its 52-week low of $153.825 (12% above the low) on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
Texas Roadhouse reported strong Q1 2026 results, with revenue increasing 13% to $1.63 billion, though slightly missing analyst estimates. Diluted EPS grew 10% year-over-year to $1.87, and comparable restaurant sales surged 7.1% due to higher traffic and menu pricing. While these figures demonstrate robust operational performance, restaurant margins declined 36 basis points, pressured by 6.2% commodity inflation and 3.8% labor inflation. This Q1 report provides an updated view of the company's performance following its full-year 2025 10-K filing in February, which noted revenue growth despite inflation. The company anticipates continued commodity inflation of 6-7% and wage inflation of 3-4% for the full year, alongside 5-6% store week growth. Traders will focus on how TXRH manages these cost pressures while sustaining its strong sales momentum.
