Texas Roadhouse reported a 6.2% same-store sales increase, driven by a 3% rise in customer traffic and average unit volumes near $9.5 million, exceeding expectations. The company benefits from disciplined pricing below inflation and improved gross margins due to favorable sirloin prices. However, management expects cost of goods sold inflation of 2-3% in Q3 and around 5% in Q4, cautioning that recent margin gains should not be annualized. The outlook remains positive with a 'Buy' rating and a $190 price target, supported by strong unit economics and growth potential as beef prices stabilize.
