Texas Roadhouse (TXRH +10.31%) stock jumped after beating Q4 earnings expectations, boosted by more customers visiting its stores and increased sales from existing locations. Plans for more store openings and commitment to shareholders also contributed to investor confidence.

BAD WEEK

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED
Recently big tech stocks led S&P 500 gains, but now other sectors are catching up. While tech giants still lead, industries like industrials and homebuilders show promise, hinting at a shift to cyclical and value investments.
Consumer spending, which makes up two-thirds of the U.S. GDP, has remained strong despite high borrowing costs and last year's inflation spike. However, signs of fatigue are emerging, with slowing credit growth and rising card delinquencies, indicating a potential slowdown in growth ahead.
