Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Texas Roadhouse operates a restaurant network that includes the flagship Texas Roadhouse brand alongside Bubba's 33 and Jaggers. It generates revenue primarily from in-restaurant food and beverage sales and To-Go pickup orders, with additional contributions from restaurants operated by franchise partners domestically and internationally. In Q1 of fiscal 2026, average weekly sales were approximately $180 thousand at Texas Roadhouse, more than $125 thousand at Bubba's 33, and $71 thousand at Jaggers, showing that the flagship brand remains the largest driver of business volume.
In Q1 of fiscal 2026, revenue exceeded $1.6 billion, up 12.8% year over year, driven by a 6.8% increase in average weekly sales and a 5.7% increase in restaurant operating weeks. Comparable restaurant sales rose 7.1%, supported by 4.5% growth in guest traffic and a 2.6% increase in average check, while To-Go orders represented 14.6% of average weekly sales, or more than $25 thousand out of a total exceeding $174 thousand.
Net income reached $126.0 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.87 in Q1 of fiscal 2026, with earnings per share growing 9.6% year over year. Restaurant margin dollars rose 10.5% to $264 million, but restaurant margin declined 36 basis points to 16.3% of sales, as food and beverage costs increased to 35.3% due to commodity inflation of 6.2%, while labor costs improved by 46 basis points to 32.9% and other operating expenses improved by 36 basis points to 14.0%.
The average analyst price target is $213.85, within a wide range of $175 to $235, while the average target is near the upper end of the 52-week range of $153.83–$216.30. The “Neutral” consensus reflects a balance between revenue and traffic growth and the restaurant opening plan on one hand, and pressure from beef inflation and restaurant margin contraction on the other. The data does not include a valid earnings multiple for an additional comparison.
Figures in the text are as of 2026-08-29; the live price is shown at the top of the page.
Revenue rose 12.8% and exceeded $1.6 billion, driven by a 6.8% increase in average weekly sales and a 5.7% increase in restaurant operating weeks. Comparable restaurant sales grew 7.1%, supported by a 4.5% increase in traffic and a 2.6% rise in average check. Net income reached $126.0 million, while diluted earnings per share rose 9.6% to $1.87.
Commodity inflation reached 6.2% in Q1 of fiscal 2026, increasing food and beverage costs by 122 basis points to 35.3% of sales. Management lowered its annual inflation forecast from approximately 7% to a range of 6%–7%, but expects it to reach between 7% and 8% in Q2. The company expects inflation to decline to the low end of guidance or below it in the second half, while beef supply issues remain.
To-Go orders accounted for 14.6% of average weekly sales in Q1 of fiscal 2026, representing more than $25 thousand out of a total exceeding $174 thousand. Restaurants use digital kitchen technology, the ordering app, and pickup windows to process a higher order volume without harming dining-room service. Management believes To-Go increases margin dollars and may slightly benefit the margin percentage when dining rooms remain full, but it lowers the average check mix because of its weaker association with beverage sales.

The company expects to open approximately 35 company-owned restaurants during fiscal 2026. It opened four Texas Roadhouse restaurants in Q1 and expects up to nine openings across all brands in Q2, making openings more concentrated in the second half. On the franchise side, Jaggers partners expect to open three additional domestic locations, while international partners may open up to six more Texas Roadhouse restaurants during the remainder of the year.
Some efficiency metrics improved in Q1 of fiscal 2026. Labor costs declined 46 basis points to 32.9% of sales, and other operating expenses improved by 36 basis points to 14.0%. Labor hours also grew by approximately 35% of comparable traffic growth, supported by employee retention, kitchen technology, and growth in the less labor-intensive To-Go channel. However, the overall restaurant margin declined 36 basis points to 16.3% because of commodity inflation, despite restaurant margin dollars rising 10.5% to $264 million.
The analyst consensus rates the stock “Neutral,” with an average price target of $213.85. Targets range from a low of $175 to a high of $235, reflecting differing assessments of traffic and restaurant opening growth relative to beef cost pressures. The average target is near the upper end of the 52-week range of $153.83–$216.30, while the data does not provide a valid earnings multiple for an additional valuation comparison.
