TSCO Stock: Sales Recover, but Who Funds the Returns? | Q3 2026

Published 2026-10-24

Q3 2026 REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

What’s changed for TSCO

HOLD · 3/5. Tractor Supply sales improved, but nine-month cash after gross investment fell short of dividends and buybacks; our $32 anchor is near the $33.42 quote.

  1. Sales improved while profit declined.

    Revenue rose 5.1%, but operating income fell to $307.7M and EPS to $0.43.

  2. Comps conceal a traffic split.

    Ticket rose 0.7% while transactions fell 0.3%; total comps were +0.4%.

  3. Cash coverage is the decision point.

    Nine-month conventional FCF was $231.0M against $719.7M of returns.

  4. Property and borrowing help fund the plan.

    Property proceeds were $160.1M and net borrowing $470M; neither is recurring merchandise cash.

  5. The guide was reaffirmed.

    Adjusted EPS $1.90–$2.00 differs from GAAP $1.78–$1.88 because of Q2 charges.

Comparison methodology & limitations

Reviewed operating groups override broad sector classifications. Other companies are matched only within a sufficiently specific provider industry. Business mix, geography and accounting standards can still differ. Market caps are converted to USD using exchange rates captured during the snapshot refresh. Financial ratios that would mix currencies are omitted. Snapshots must be at most 14 days old and no more than seven days apart for automatic selection.

Peer medians require at least two valid similar-size peers for each metric. Negative earnings, nonpositive equity, missing data and irrelevant bank ratios are not presented as attractive valuations. A higher or lower number is not automatically a better investment. Financial statement periods are not calendar-aligned across companies.

Earnings-multiple scenario

Illustrative price = your earnings-per-share assumption × your P/E assumption. This is not a price target or a complete valuation model.

Starting assumptions, when available, use provider forward estimates as of 2026-11-11. Negative earnings require a different valuation method. This calculation omits balance-sheet, dilution and execution risks.
