Fadem wrote:
“We’re hosting investor meetings with TSCO CEO Greg Sandfort and CFO Wednesday (2/13). Since TSCO’s Q4 print (1/31) shares have recovered, yet the investor debate remains more mixed, with bears citing lack of Q4 profit flow-through (EBIT margin -96bps) despite a +5.7% comp; increasingly tough comparisons in FY19; and 2H weighted FY19 guidance (including Q1 EBIT decline). Bulls, on the other hand, see an achievable FY19 outlook (particularly in 1H), healthy comp trends (starting with ~4% in Q1), and potential EBIT margin inflection as early as Q2.”
