“We reiterate our Outperform investment rating on shares of Tractor Supply (TSCO). On Thurs., Sep. 13th, we and a small group of clients met with TSCO senior management at the company’s HQ near Nashville. We discuss key takeaways from our meeting inside. Earlier this year, we upgraded TSCO upon prospects for a steady top-line recovery, mainly as macro pressures eased and internal initiatives gained further traction (4/27/18 at $66.66). Overall, we walked away from our conversation with management increasingly confident that the company is capitalizing upon a better sector and spending backdrop, all while utilizing an improved tech backbone to better connect with core consumers. Our price target on TSCO goes to $100 (up from $90) and suggests upside potential of nearly +15% from current levels.”
