Earnings Summary
Tractor Supply Company is a leading U.S. retailer focused on rural and recreational lifestyles, offering a broad range of livestock supplies, pet care, seasonal equipment, and hardware through its flagship and subsidiary banners, as well as online platforms. Operating within the specialty retail sector, TSCO serves a niche market with a strong brand presence built since 1938. Recent quarterly performance reveals mixed results: Q4 2024 EPS of $0.44 versus an estimate of $0.45, Q1 2025 EPS of $0.34 versus $0.37, Q2 2025 EPS of $0.81 versus $0.80, and Q3 2025 EPS of $0.49 versus $0.48, indicating a pattern of near‑par or modestly positive beats, while revenue has fluctuated, declining from $3.773B in Q4 2024 to $3.898B in Q3 2025, with a notable dip to $3.598B in Q4 2025. Historically, TSCO has experienced modest YoY revenue growth in the first half of 2025 but faced a decline in Q4 2025, with EPS generally meeting or slightly exceeding estimates, reflecting a stable earnings trajectory amid revenue volatility. Recent news underscores the company’s dividend growth, having doubled payouts over five years, and its expansion of supply chain capabilities with a new distribution center in Idaho, which could enhance operational efficiency and support future revenue growth. Forward‑looking watch points for investors include observing the Q1 2026 earnings release, particularly the EPS outcome relative to the $0.867 estimate, and evaluating how the new distribution center’s operational ramp‑up may influence cost structure and inventory management in the coming quarters.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into TSCO?

FAIR

At today's price, Tractor Supply Company needs to grow free cash flow about 10.7% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.03% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 13.5% a year, so the market is asking for 2.8 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis TSCO looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
49%

Tractor Supply Company is currently running 30.0% 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 70th 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 -46.0% 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 -14.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 10th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TSCO closed higher on 49% 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 +2.4%. 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 92 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 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TSCO's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

Tractor Supply Co. reported Q2 revenue of $4.54 billion, a 2.3% year‑over‑year increase, but the figure fell 1.1% short of analysts’ estimates.
