Read MoreHide Full Article
Tractor Supply (TSCO - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $138.11, moving -0.03% from the previous trading session. This change was narrower than the S&P 500's 1.12% loss on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow lost 0.88%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 1.07%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the retailer for farmers and ranchers had lost 9.31% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's loss of 1.2% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.59% in that time.
TSCO will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. On that day, TSCO is projected to report earnings of $1.33 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 27.88%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $2.39 billion, up 20.26% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $6.29 per share and revenue of $9.97 billion. These totals would mark changes of +34.4% and +19.42%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for TSCO. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.

Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. TSCO is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Investors should also note TSCO's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 21.96. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 12.75, so we one might conclude that TSCO is trading at a premium comparatively.
We can also see that TSCO currently has a PEG ratio of 1.91. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Retail - Miscellaneous was holding an average PEG ratio of 3.25 at yesterday's closing price.
