What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• Several firms, including BofA, Stephens and Barclays, have either raised or maintained price targets in the US$180 to US$216 range, signaling that they still see support for the current valuation even after revisiting their models.

• Truist highlights very strong Q1 to date same store sales, and Barclays points to Q1 comps that reaccelerated after a softer Q4, which together back the view that demand for Texas Roadhouse remains solid.

• Truist also points to an April menu price increase that it expects to support margins. BofA explicitly builds in higher structural costs and still sees room for earnings in its FY26 EPS estimate of US$6.27.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• A number of banks, including Wells Fargo, RBC Capital, Deutsche Bank, Citi and Morgan Stanley, have trimmed price targets, often citing more conservative margin assumptions tied to beef, labor and other operating costs.

• Truist has moved to a more cautious rating stance, and Citi refers to only modest upside after the Q4 report, suggesting that at recent prices some analysts see limited valuation cushion if costs stay elevated.
