Tractor Supply reported Q1 2026 sales of $3.59 billion, matching consensus estimates, but earnings per share (EPS) fell short by 9%. Comparable sales growth was below guidance, and while gross margin held steady at 36.2% despite tariff pressures, selling, general, and administrative expenses rose 6.1%, reducing operating and net income by 6.3% and 8.3% respectively. Management maintained full-year 2026 guidance, but concerns remain over consumer fatigue and uncertain growth prospects. The stock's forward EV/EBITDA ratio stands at 14, above the analyst's preferred entry point, leading to a neutral stance pending better valuation and growth reliability.
