On Oct 7, Texas Roadhouse reported that it operated 832 restaurants, reflecting an average annual unit growth of 4.9 %. The same‑store sales increased 6.1 %, indicating strong demand across its locations. However, the company’s gross margin remained low at 16.4 %, underscoring ongoing competitive and cost‑inflation pressures that could limit profitability. The Oct 7 report highlighted that the unit growth and same‑store sales rise were positive signs for the business, while the low gross margin signaled continued cost challenges. The Oct 7 data therefore presented a mixed picture of Tex‑Ro’s operational performance and financial pressures.

Momentum has rolled over on Texas Roadhouse Inc., which is what drives the bearish read. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Texas Roadhouse Inc. is currently running 26.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TXRH's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 53rd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 26.0%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

TXRH is trading -25.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -22.3%, and the deepest was -62.6% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -11.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 6th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TXRH closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, TXRH finished the month higher 10 of 13 times, with a median return of +5.6% and an average of +3.5%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.8% on average, its weakest September at -3.0%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: TXRH has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 144 of 3,267 sessions (4.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +18.4% and -17.1%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TXRH's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
