Carroll Hugh J 4

What Happened
Hugh J. Carroll, a director of Texas Roadhouse, sold 988 shares of TXRH stock in an open-market transaction on March 16, 2026, at $170.96 per share for a total of roughly $168,908. This was a sale (not a purchase); sales by insiders are common and can be routine (e.g., diversification, tax planning) rather than a direct signal about company performance.

Context
Sales by directors are fairly common and do not necessarily indicate insider pessimism. The filing also discloses outstanding RSUs that have future vesting dates (July 2, 2026 and January 8, 2027); those units are conditional and were not part of this reported sale. Retail investors should treat this as one data point among many when assessing insider sentiment.
