Kate McShane has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Tractor Supply’s better-than-expected earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025, which surpassed both Goldman Sachs and consensus estimates. The company’s comparable store sales also exceeded expectations, driven by an increase in both transaction count and average ticket size.
Additionally, management’s optimistic outlook for the second half of the year, supported by favorable economic conditions in rural America and strategic pricing flexibility, contributes to the positive rating. Despite some challenges such as tariff pressures and a reduced share buyback outlook, the company remains committed to disciplined capital allocation and maintaining competitive pricing, which are seen as strengths in managing future growth and profitability.
TSCO’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $57.940 to $59.340, which is a 2.42% increase.
