Texas Roadhouse, Inc.
Next earnings Aug 5, 2026 (after close) · consensus $1.86 EPS, $1.71B rev
Last earnings -1.1% on 2026-05-07
Best-in-class traffic growth (+9.4% sales) but beef inflation cut margins and EPS; superb operator at a full 29x multiple.
Revenue $5.88B · FY2025
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~64% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Texas Roadhouse remains one of the strongest operators in casual dining, and FY2025 again showed its hallmark traffic-driven growth: revenue rose 9.4% to $5.88B, continuing a remarkable multi-year ramp from $3.46B in FY2021. The franchise quality is reflected in a 28.4% return on equity and a debt-free balance sheet (no long-term debt), with $730M of operating cash flow funding $388M of new-restaurant capex, $180M of dividends (+10.7%) and $150M of buybacks (+88%).
The blemish is margins. Despite the strong top line, net income fell 6.8% to $414M and operating income dropped 8.1% to $475M, taking operating margin down to 8.1% and diluted EPS down 5.7% to $6.10. Management's risk factors and MD&A pin this on cost pressure: the company experienced higher-than-normal commodity inflation in 2025, specifically in beef/proteins, plus ongoing labor-cost and construction-cost inflation. Texas Roadhouse's value-oriented positioning limits how aggressively it can price to offset food costs without risking the traffic that is its core advantage — so margins are squeezed when beef spikes.
