Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Tractor Supply Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Tractor Supply has performed in line with the industry in the past six months. Recently, the company reported first-quarter 2017 results wherein earnings came in line with the estimate after beating the same in the preceding two quarters. Meanwhile, the company’s revenues marginally came ahead of the estimate and grew year over year.  However, the company’s comps declined in the quarter. The fall in comps is attributable to a dip in comparable transaction count and average ticket. Further, comps were primarily hurt by soft seasonal merchandise sales, along with deflationary pressure. Nevertheless, the company remains hopeful of the spring selling season, wherein it anticipates seasonal merchandise sales to witness some improvement. The company’s upcoming merchandise strategies and constant implementation of its cross-network consumer-centric growth plans further reflect its spring season prospects." (4/27/2017)
• 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "Long-Term Guidance Revisions are Modest and Help to Reduce Risk. As detailed within Exhibit 9, TSCO lowered its long-term targets by broadening its guidance for annual EBIT margin expansion'from ~25 basis points to ~15-25 basis points'and slightly reducing its annual EPS growth target'from ~13-15% to Low-DD. Although we regard these changes as modest, they are likely better than some feared given the current discretionary spending environment, and once again, demonstrate TSCO's unique growth model. Based on our estimates, these new targets imply revenue, EBIT, and EPS growth of 6-8%, 7-10%, and 10-13%, respectively, representing rare levels of growth within large cap retail." (2/24/2017)
• 3. Wedbush analysts commented, "Weather is normalizing, consumer confidence is rising, the oil economy is starting to grow and the farm economy outlook is better than last year on the back of improving changes in commodity prices. That points to a better year for comps and underlying earnings growth for TSCO in 2017 vs. 2016, leading us to boost our comp and EPS estimates above consensus. While shares have already bounced off the bottom and 1Q17 consensus estimates appear aggressive, we see a favorable risk/reward that leads us to increase our price target from $65 to $85 and raise our rating to OUTPERFORM from NEUTRAL. Notably, our new price target, representing 12% upside from yesterday's close, does not imply TSCO's valuation multiple reverts all the way to historical averages." (1/13/2017)
