Jefferies upgrades Texas Roadhouse to Buy with $190 price target

Jefferies raised its rating on Texas Roadhouse from Hold to Buy and lifted the price target to $190, up from $186. The firm said the stock’s recent pullback creates an appealing entry point. It expects the company to keep strong same‑store sales and improve margins as beef costs ease. The upgrade prompted a 2% pre‑market rise in the shares.

The higher rating and target may attract buying interest and support the stock price, according to Jefferies. The firm also projects continued revenue and EBITDA expansion into 2027, which could boost future earnings.
