Texas Roadhouse’s mixed results capture the conundrum this stock has become
On Thursday evening, Texas Roadhouse reported the second quarter of the second quarter, as high beef prices focused on profitability. Nevertheless, the company has published strong comparable sales and said that the ongoing third quarter made a great start and balances some fears around higher input prices. In the quarter ending on July 1, the income increased by 12.8% to $ 1.51 billion annually, and the Wall Street consensus estimation is $ 1.50 billion dollars. LSEG data increased by 4% on an annual basis per share (EPS) and rose to $ 1.86. Stocks fell slightly more than 1% in the transactions on Thursday. The stock has been dragged lower this summer and the normal session reduced 7.4% of the highest level at the end of the year. The Bottom Line Texas Roadhouse is carried out in what it can control – creating a pleasant environment and offering full menus at affordable prices – it is shown in the results. When the restaurant chain reported the third quarter results in early May, the management said that it followed 5%of the same store sales growth for the second quarter. This lock is also called comparable sales to the restaurant industry metric or Comps. We were pleased to see that the growth rate of 5 % was maintained only for a quarter, but also healed a little more. What a difference can make the weather. One month increased comparable sales, a key restaurant industry Metric, 4.3% in April, 7.2% in May and 5.8% in June. The company-wide, the same store sales increased by 5.8% in the quarter, mostly an increase in customer traffic. According to Factset, this result experienced a unity of 5.3%. Better, these positive tendencies continued at the beginning of the third quarter and comparable sales increased by 5.3% for the first five weeks and defeated approximately 5% consensus.

Sharing. However, there is a cattle inflation other than the company’s control. This wind focused on the second quarter results and is expected to be even worse in the third quarter. The company has some balances, including raising menu prices, and labor inflation is a little better than expected. CEO Jerry Morgan said the company plans to increase prices by 1.7% at the beginning of the fourth quarter. “We are sure that this is the right level of pricing to protect our daily value while balances the inflationist pressures we encounter.” He said. Once again, we tear in Texas Roadhouse. The traffic-based Comps is proof that the brand is loved and the concept works wherever they work everywhere-and the company does abundant. The consumer can obtain more “selective” and “selective” in the back half of the year, but Texas Roadhouse is a logical place to get a great explosion for one’s money. However, beef prices are everything for this meat restaurant chain, and even with strong Comps, we probably don’t see the big stocks we expect until prices fall. Tight cattle materials in the United States have increased beef costs in recent years. On Thursday, cattle futures traded on the Chicago Commodity Exchange broke another record. This is our current opinion. We continue to optimize in the future supported by strong traffic tendencies, ongoing franchise purchases and growth from new store opening.

Management said that this year is on its way to opening a restaurant of approximately 30 companies and that she can do a little more than next year because it plans to increase growth for 33 of Bubba, which is currently 52 of the sports-bar chain. In addition, Texas Roadhouse completed the purchase of three franchise restaurants and brought the annual total to 17. The company takes these franchise places back from time to time and usually think that they are a good use of cash.
