Bull case
TXRH would need investors to value it at roughly 43x earnings — about 15x more generous than today's 28x forward P/E. That requires meaningful multiple expansion on top of continued earnings growth.
Wall Street verdict, consensus price target, and analyst rating breakdown — everything needed to frame the risk/reward at today's price.
Three scenarios for where TXRH stock could go
TXRH would need investors to value it at roughly 43x earnings — about 15x more generous than today's 28x forward P/E. That requires meaningful multiple expansion on top of continued earnings growth.
At 33x on FY1 earnings, the base case reflects a reasonable but not stretched valuation. It prices in continued growth without assuming an exceptional setup.
If investor confidence fades or macro conditions deteriorate, a 7x multiple contraction could push TXRH down roughly 25% from where it trades now.
