Company Report

Tractor Supply Continues to Blunt Consumer Spending Shifts and Advance Strategic Brand Investments

Tractor Supply is the largest consumer farm specialty retailer in the United States, surpassing $14.5 billion in sales in fiscal 2023. The firm has differentiated itself through its products and customer demographics, which provide underlying support to its brand intangible assets and wide economic moat. At the end of 2023, the store base had grown about 24% over the prior five-year period, to more than 2,400 locations, including 81 acquired locations from Orscheln and Petsense, driving sales and EPS compound annual growth rates over the past three years of 11% and 14%, respectively. We forecast that the firm will grow to over 3,200 stores by 2033 as it populates big-box centers in the western half of the U.S., with Petsense accounting for about 300 units.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Tractor Supply has room for store growth, which should help it achieve high-single-digit EPS growth over the next decade (in line with the 8%-11% it expects). A quicker-than-expected rollout of side lot projects could lead to faster sales growth than we expect.

Bears

Competition is fierce throughout retail, and Tractor Supply will have to innovate to keep its market leadership position and ensure elevated brand relevance.
