Did TXRH Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Texas Roadhouse delivered a solid but nuanced second quarter for fiscal 2026, posting revenue of $1.68 billion, up 11.1% year-over-year, while GAAP diluted earnings per share edged down slightly to $1.85 from $1.86 in the prior-year period. The top-line strength was fueled by a 6.2% rise in comparable restaurant sales and 5.0% store week growth, with average weekly sales climbing to $177,252 from $167,350. The modest EPS dip reflected cost headwinds that tempered the revenue momentum, particularly commodity inflation of 7.0% and a jump in general and administrative expenses to $72.41 million from $62.76 million, which squeezed restaurant margin as a percentage of sales by 66 basis points to 16.4%. Analysts had been watching beef cost pressures closely heading into the print, and those concerns proved warranted. Looking ahead, management updated its commodity inflation outlook to approximately 5% for 2026 while reiterating store week growth of 5% to 6%, and noted that comparable restaurant sales for the first five weeks of Q3 rose 6.2%, signaling continued consumer demand across its three-brand portfolio.

Key Takeaways
  • Comparable restaurant sales increased 6.2% driven by strong traffic trends
  • Store weeks increased 5.0% year-over-year
  • Average weekly sales of $177,252, up from $167,350 in the prior year
  • Restaurant margin dollars increased 6.9% to $275.1 million
  • To-go sales of $25,369 per week vs. $22,243 in prior year

“We are excited about the momentum in our business this quarter as continued strong traffic trends drove record average weekly sales. These results are a testament to the hard work, passion, and ownership mentality of our operators and their commitment to our mission, values, and purpose of Serving Communities Across America and the World.”
