Is Tractor Supply A Buy Ahead Of Earnings? (TSCO)
Notes: The $12B operator of retail farm and ranch stores has more than 1,380 stores located throughout the United States. Tractor Supply trades at a P/E ratio of 28.26x (2015 estimates), price to sales ratio of 2.06x, and a price to book ratio of 9.11x. Earnings are projected to increase 15% annually and sales are projected to rise 10% annually over the next couple of years. About 44% of revenues in 2014 came from their livestock and pet categories. When you put a PEG ratio of 2x on the stock it puts the price at $92, which is probably conservative since the company has beat EPS estimates by $0.05 each in the last two quarters. On February 25th, Barclays raised their price target to $110 from $92 (overweight rating). Q1 earnings are due out on April 22nd (shares have moved higher after earnings on three consecutive reports).
