• Negative Sentiment: Q4 earnings and revenue missed consensus — TXRH reported $1.28 EPS vs. ~$1.53 expected and $1.48B revenue vs. ~$1.50B, a decline from prior year EPS; that shortfall is the primary driver of the intra‑day weakness. MarketBeat: Q4 earnings report
• Negative Sentiment: Margin pressure from higher commodity costs — management flagged rising food/commodity inflation that pulled margins lower, a recurring risk for restaurant operators that can pressure near‑term profitability. Seeking Alpha: Commodity costs hurt margins
• Negative Sentiment: Some analysts trimmed price targets and ratings (Citigroup lowered PT to $184/neutral; Truist trimmed to $186/hold), which can weigh on sentiment even if cuts are modest. Benzinga: Citi and Truist adjustments
