Earnings Summary
Tractor Supply Company is a leading U.S. retailer focused on rural and recreational lifestyles, offering a broad range of products from livestock supplies to seasonal equipment under multiple banners and online platforms. Operating in the specialty retail sector, TSCO serves a niche customer base that relies on its one‑stop shop model for farm, ranch, and outdoor needs. Recent quarterly performance has been mixed: Q4 2024 EPS of $0.44 fell short of the $0.45 estimate, and revenue of $3.77 billion was slightly below expectations; Q1 2025 EPS of $0.34 missed the $0.37 estimate with revenue of $3.47 billion, while Q2 2025 EPS of $0.81 beat the $0.80 estimate and revenue rose to $4.44 billion. The company’s earnings pattern shows a recent swing from misses to a beat in Q2 2025, but revenue growth has been volatile, with a decline from $3.47 billion in Q1 2025 to $3.72 billion in Q4 2025 and a subsequent drop to $3.59 billion in Q1 2026. Historically, TSCO has experienced inconsistent earnings relative to analysts, with EPS often missing estimates and revenue growth fluctuating year‑over‑year. Recent news indicates dividend increases and dividend sustainability concerns, as well as a sharp cut to the fiscal 2026 outlook and withdrawal of a long‑term financial framework, raising doubts about cash flow and payout policy. Forward‑looking watch points for investors include monitoring the company’s guidance for Q3 2026, particularly any changes to margin pressure and revenue expectations, as well as the impact of dividend policy on earnings and cash flow sustainability.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into TSCO?

CHEAP

At today's price, Tractor Supply Company needs to grow free cash flow about 8.8% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.04% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 13.5% a year, so the market is asking for 4.7 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis TSCO looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average
-21.3%
Up days (1y)
48%

Tractor Supply Company is currently running 29.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TSCO's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 68th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 25.0%. 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.

TSCO is trading -49.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -25.1%, and the deepest was -36.3% in 2016. 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 -21.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 5th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TSCO closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, TSCO finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.8% and an average of +2.1%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.5% on average, its weakest September at -3.6%. 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: TSCO has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 91 of 3,267 sessions (2.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +34.2% and -7.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, TSCO moved an average of 1.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +1.0% and a largest of +2.4%.

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