Brentwood, Tennessee-based Tractor Supply Company (TSCO) is a rural lifestyle retailer that focuses on supplying the needs of recreational farmers and ranchers. With a market cap of $27.2 billion, the company offers a wide assortment of products, including livestock and pet supplies, hardware, tools, seasonal products, workwear, and outdoor power equipment.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally classified as “large-cap” stocks, and Tractor Supply fits this criterion perfectly. The company has thousands of stores across the country, and its brand portfolio consists of 4health, American Farmworks, Bit & Bridle, Blue Mountain, C.E. Schmidt, Country Lane, Countyline, and more.
Tractor Supply currently trades 15.9% below its all-time high of $61.53 recorded on October 15, 2024. TSCO's stock has dipped 1.2% over the past three months, underperforming the VanEck Retail ETF’s (RTH) 6.8% gain.
Longer term, shares of TSCO dropped 7.6% over the past 52 weeks, notably lagging behind the RTH’s 15.1% rise over the same time frame. Moreover, Tractor Supply stock has declined 2.5% on a YTD basis, whereas RTH has increased nearly 5%.
Despite a recent uptick, the stock has been trading mostly below its 50-day moving average since early March. Also, the stock has remained mostly below its 200-day moving average since early March, underscoring its bearish trend.
Tractor Supply’s stock fell 3.4% following the release of its disappointing Q1 2025 results on Apr. 24. The company reported net sales of $3.5 billion, up 2.1% year-over-year, supported by new store openings and contributions from acquisitions of Allivet. However, this was partially offset by a decline in comparable store sales, and the figure fell short of Wall Street expectations. Meanwhile, net income dropped 9.5% year-over-year to $179.4 million, reflecting financial pressure from elevated costs and ongoing strategic investments. EPS stood at $0.34, down 8.1% from the prior-year quarter, and also missed consensus estimates.
Compared to its peer, Casey's General Stores, Inc. (CASY) has outpaced TSCO stock. Shares of CASY have soared 28% on a YTD basis and climbed 33% over the past 52 weeks.
Among the 31 analysts covering the TSCO stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $55.99 suggests an 8.2% upside potential from current price levels.
