Tractor Supply Co

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSCO/analyst-ratings">reiterated an Outperform</a> rating on the shares of Tractor Supply Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>) with a price forecast of $67.
The company is scheduled to report its first-quarter FY25 earnings on April 24.
Tractor Supply&#8217;s sales are projected to grow 4.8% to $3.6 billion in the upcoming quarter, with comparable sales rising 1.3%, slightly ahead of the 1.0% FactSet consensus, said the analyst. 
The optimistic outlook is driven by improved weather conditions and the company's continued market share gains.

Despite a flat retail landscape and easing COVID-19 pandemic-era comparisons, weaker inflation may impact average transaction size, reflecting broader economic uncertainty, the analyst wrote.
Gross margin is expected to rise by 98 basis points to 36.3%, driven by better supply chain performance and a shift toward higher-margin private label and media segments. 
But, ongoing strategic investments like adding a new distribution center are projected to increase SG&amp;A costs by roughly 250 basis points to 28.7%, leading to an anticipated 60 basis point decline in operating margin to 7.6%, said the analyst.
Analysts reaffirm a 2025 EPS estimate of $2.20 for Tractor Supply, above the FactSet consensus of $2.16 and within company guidance. 
The outlook sees potential gains in the second half of the year as market conditions stabilize. The long-term thesis remains bullish, backed by the retailer&#8217;s &#8220;Life Out Here 2030&#8221; strategy. 
TSCO Price Action: Tractor Supply Co. shares closed Thursday up 1.58% at $50.14.

Tractor Supply Earnings Outlook Brightens With 2025 Profit Growth Potential, Says Analyst

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Tractor Supply has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Tractor Supply's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tractor Supply's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 13.40%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>How Does Tractor Supply P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 74.93 in the Specialty Retail industry, Tractor Supply Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 24.2. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744905616_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail">March retail sales</a> exceeded expectations despite weather delays and a late Easter, J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers wrote in a Wednesday research note. 
What Happened: March retail sales rose 4.6% year-over-year, accelerating from 3.5% in February and slightly exceeding Bloomberg's forecast of 1.3% sequential growth.
Core retail sales were up 4.2%, nearly flat from the prior month.

Best-Performing Sectors: Discretionary categories like electronics, restaurants, apparel, and home furnishings saw strong year-over-year growth in March, likely due to &#8220;tariff pull-forward&#8221; ahead of price hikes.
The analyst also noted that sporting goods, grocery, general merchandise, and home improvement weakened.
In April, five out of ten categories will face easier year-over-year comparisons, including auto parts (-400 bps) and nonstore (-395 bps). 
Conversely, electronics (+485 bps), apparel (+325 bps), and others will have tougher comparisons.
O'Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) will likely report first-quarter same-store sales growth of 5.7%, well above the consensus estimate of 2.9%, based on sequential trends. This performance aligns with buy-side expectations, according to internal analysis.
Tractor Supply Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>) appears poised to underperform expectations for first-quarter, with estimated same-store sales growth of 0.3% versus Street forecasts of 1.0%–1.1%. 
This figure, however, is slightly ahead of more bearish buy-side projections, which anticipated a 1%–2% decline, noted the analyst.

J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers said the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in February rose by 2.8% year-over-year, with core CPI increasing by 3.1%.
This marked a slight moderation compared to January's inflation figures of 3% and 3.3%, respectively. Both headline and core indices saw a 0.2% month-over-month increase, underperforming the expected 0.3% rise, noted the analyst.
In February, significant pricing changes were observed across several categories. TV prices experienced deflation, dropping 8.7% year-over-year, a sharp contrast from the 6.6% drop the previous month.
Other categories such as Sporting Goods and Cosmetics also saw deterioration in prices, while some areas, including Appliances and Pet Food, experienced price increases.

Notably, prices for Building Products flipped to inflation, rising 0.2% year-over-year vs. -0.7% last month.
On a sequential basis, some categories such as TVs and Sporting Goods showed declines in prices compared to the previous quarter, while others, including Pet Food and Toys/Games/Hobbies/Playground Equipment, saw pricing improvements.
Interestingly, Grocery prices remained relatively stable, with Food at Home inflation holding steady at 1.8% year-over-year, although Pet Food prices saw a slight uptick of 0.4%.
As the year progresses, comparisons in certain categories like Building Products and Pet Food are expected to ease, leading to potentially less inflationary pressure. 
Meanwhile, more challenging comparisons are anticipated in categories such as Appliances, TVs, and Computers. The analyst notes that durable goods prices are stabilizing, with signs of improvement in categories such as food, electronics, and home furnishings.
This trend suggests that the strain on consumers&#8217; wallets may be lessening, concluded the analyst.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
