Tractor Supply (NASDAQ:TSCO) said its second-quarter results came in below expectations as unusually weak May trends offset positive comparable sales in April and June, prompting the rural lifestyle retailer to lower its fiscal 2026 outlook, withdraw its long-term financial framework and announce the closure of about 75 underperforming Petsense stores.
Chief Executive Officer Hal Lawton said the company’s “underlying business remains healthy,” but that the quarter was pressured by a combination of higher fuel prices during the spring selling season and persistent drought in key southeastern markets. Those factors weighed on discretionary and project-oriented categories, including big-ticket items and hardlines spring goods.
“Performance in our big ticket categories and hard lines spring goods during May alone reduced our Q2 comp sales by approximately two percentage points,” Lawton said, adding that needs-based businesses remained resilient.
Sales rise, but comparable sales decline Net sales increased approximately 2% to $4.5 billion, driven by new store growth and partly offset by lower comparable store sales. Comparable sales declined approximately 1.5%, reflecting lower transaction counts, modest inflation and softer discretionary demand, particularly in big-ticket categories.
Lawton said consumable, usable and edible categories remained positive during the quarter, while big-ticket sales declined in the mid-single digits, led by softness in spring and summer categories in May. Digital sales posted double-digit growth, supported by deliver-from-store performance, higher traffic and improved conversion.
Chief Financial Officer Kurt Barton said reported gross profit increased 2.6% to $1.68 billion, with gross margin expanding 11 basis points to 37.1%. On an adjusted basis, gross profit rose 3.0% to $1.69 billion, and adjusted gross margin expanded 24 basis points to 37.2% of net sales. Barton said disciplined product cost management and tariff refunds more than offset higher freight expense and investments in the company’s price-value position.
Reported SG&A expense increased 14.4% to $1.22 billion, including a $65.8 million charge tied to the Petsense business and $9.5 million in acquisition costs associated with VIP Petcare. Excluding those items, adjusted SG&A rose 7.3% and deleveraged by approximately 118 basis points as a percentage of sales, largely because of lower comparable sales. Adjusted operating income was $548.3 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.81.
Company cuts 2026 outlook Tractor Supply updated its fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect year-to-date performance and expectations for the remainder of the year. The company now expects:
Net sales growth of approximately 2.5% to 3.5%. Comparable store sales in the range of negative 1% to flat. Adjusted operating margin of 8.5% to 8.8%. Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.90 to $2.00. Barton said the company’s base case assumes modest sequential improvement in comparable sales in the second half as recent actions take hold and comparisons ease. However, he said guidance also reflects the possibility that current pressures persist.
For the second half, Barton said gross margin is expected to be below the prior year, with greater pressure in the third quarter than the fourth. Freight costs, including fuel, are expected to remain elevated, while tariff refunds are expected to provide less benefit than they did in the second quarter. The company also plans to open its 11th distribution center early in the fourth quarter, with start-up costs beginning in the third quarter and continuing into the fourth.
Pet strategy remains a focus Lawton said pet performance remains below where the company wants it to be, though trends improved sequentially from the first quarter and Tractor Supply continues to hold share. He said category resets are complete, including more localized assortments, greater exposure to premium nutrition and a stronger exclusive brand portfolio.
The company’s Freshpet rollout was in approximately 250 stores at the end of the second quarter, and Tractor Supply remains on track to expand it to at least 700 stores by year-end. During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Chief Merchant Seth Estep said more than 40% of Freshpet buyers were either new pet food buyers at Tractor Supply or reactivated buyers.
Tractor Supply also completed its acquisition of VIP Petcare during the quarter. Lawton said the acquisition adds relationships with about 1 million pets annually through a network of 2,500 veterinarians across 39 states and helps connect veterinary services, prescriptions and products across physical and digital channels.
The company is also moving to improve its value proposition through its “unbeatable price” campaign, clearer everyday value messaging and targeted promotions. Estep said customer survey results showed a roughly 180-basis-point year-over-year improvement in customers’ price-value perception of Tractor Supply, with sequential improvement in June and stronger results in July.
Petsense closures and capital reallocation Tractor Supply said it will close approximately 75 underperforming Petsense stores following a review of the business. Lawton said in response to an analyst question that those locations have negative four-wall cash flow, and that closing them will allow the company to redeploy capital into the core business.
Lawton said the remaining Petsense business is expected to be “strong” and profitable, while complementing the broader pet ecosystem that includes Allivet and VIP Petcare. He also said Petsense is not directly connected to the core Tractor Supply business and that the closures should not affect the company’s pet re-acceleration efforts in Tractor Supply stores.
The company also said it plans to open approximately 85 to 90 new stores in 2027, compared with a previous expectation of 100 new stores. Lawton said capital will be redeployed toward Project Fusion remodels, store relocations and Final Mile delivery.
Lawton described Project Fusion as one of the company’s most important initiatives to improve the existing store base, citing localization and expanded pet wash as elements contributing to performance. He also said Final Mile delivery remains a strong growth opportunity, with Tractor Supply completing as many Final Mile deliveries in the first half of 2026 as it did in all of 2025.
Long-term framework withdrawn Tractor Supply withdrew the long-term financial framework it introduced at its December 2024 Investor Day. Barton said the prior targets reflected the operating environment and assumptions at that time, but several underlying conditions have changed, including softer farm and ranch markets and pressure across key end markets.
“We no longer believe it is appropriate to anchor investors to the long-term financial algorithm we previously outlined,” Barton said. The company plans to provide an updated long-term framework with its fourth-quarter 2026 earnings announcement.
Despite the revised outlook, Barton said Tractor Supply remains in a strong financial position, with healthy cash flow, a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. He said share repurchase activity is expected to be toward the high end of the company’s original guidance range of $375 million to $450 million, and that Tractor Supply remains committed to returning capital to shareholders through a growing dividend.
About Tractor Supply (NASDAQ:TSCO) Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO) is a specialty retailer focused on products for the home, farm, ranch and outdoors. The company operates a network of physical retail locations complemented by an e-commerce platform, offering a one-stop source of supplies and equipment for customers with rural and suburban lifestyles. Its merchandise assortment targets a range of needs, from animal and livestock care to maintenance, outdoor power equipment, and seasonal products.
Product categories include animal feed and supplies, pet products, fencing and fencing supplies, equine equipment, lawn and garden tools, work clothing and footwear, and small agricultural and outdoor power equipment.
Key Takeaways Tractor Supply missed Q2 earnings and revenue estimates as comparable sales declined 1.5%. TSCO lowered its 2026 sales, comp and earnings outlook amid softer discretionary demand.Gross margin improved on cost management, while higher SG&A expenses pressured profitability. Tractor Supply Company (TSCO - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share for the second quarter of 2026, unchanged from the year-ago period. The metric lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 83 cents.
Net sales rose 2.3% year over year to $4.5 billion, driven by new stores. The top line missed the consensus mark of $4.6 billion. Comparable-store sales (comps) fell 1.5% as transaction count decreased 1.7%, partly offset by a 0.2% increase in average ticket. We had expected comps to rise 1.6% for the reported quarter.
Comps were positive in April and June, with underperformance in May contributing to the decrease in the quarter. May results were affected by weaker demand in seasonal merchandise, particularly big-ticket products, along with softer consumer spending across discretionary categories.
Although the company's consumable, usable and edible categories remained relatively resilient, the companion animal business continued to underperform the overall company, despite showing improved trends through the quarter. Strength across the balance of the company's consumable, usable and edible categories, along with an increase in digital sales, somewhat offset these headwinds.
This Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company’s shares have lost 20.1% over the past three months compared with the industry’s 12.6% decline.
TSCO’s Margins & CostsAdjusted gross profit rose 3% year over year to $1.7 billion, while the adjusted gross margin improved 24 basis points (bps) to 37.2%. Disciplined product cost management and tariff-related benefits more than offset increased freight expenses and incremental price investments. Our model had anticipated gross profit to rise 6.5% and gross margin to expand 60 bps in the reported quarter.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, including depreciation, amortization and impairment, jumped 14.4% year over year to $1.2 billion. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 290 bps to 26.8%. On an adjusted basis, SG&A expenses increased 7.3% to $1.1 billion, or 118 bps to 25.1% as a percentage of net sales for the quarter, mainly owing to deleverage from weak comps and higher claims and legal settlement expenses. We had expected SG&A costs to increase 7.6% year over year and to rise 50 bps, as a percentage of net sales, to 21.7%.
Operating income decreased 19.2% year over year to $467.1 million. On an adjusted basis, operating income dipped 5.1% year over year to $548.3 million, translating into an adjusted margin of 12.1%. We had expected operating income to increase 5% year over year.

It opened 28 Tractor Supply stores and three new Petsense by Tractor Supply stores in the reported quarter.

What's Next for Tractor Supply?While Tractor Supply has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Tractor Supply was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, and the Tractor Supply Company Foundation announced today a $100,000 donation to the Farmer Veteran Coalition's (FVC) Fellowship Fund, a small grant program that provides direct assistance to veterans who are in their beginning years of farming or ranching. This marks the eighth year of this partnership, benefiting more than 450 veterans in their agricultural vent.
Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Tractor Supply (TSCO - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis retailer for farmers and ranchers is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.85 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +4.9%.
Revenues are expected to be $4.63 billion, up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.22% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Tractor Supply?For Tractor Supply, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -2.52%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Tractor Supply will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Tractor Supply would post earnings of $0.35 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.31, delivering a surprise of -11.43%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Tractor Supply doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Key Takeaways Tractor Supply's Q2 revenues are projected to rise 4.6% y/y to $4.6 billion in sales this quarter.TSCO's EPS is expected to increase 4.9% to 85 cents, even as SG&A expenses rise 7.6% in Q2.Tractor Supply's gross margin is expected to expand 60 basis points to 37.5%, supporting profit growth. Tractor Supply Company (TSCO - Free Report) is likely to register increases in the top and bottom lines when it reports second-quarter 2026 results on June 23, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.6 billion, indicating a 4.6% jump from the year-ago reported figure.
The bottom line of the leading rural lifestyle retailer in the United States is expected to have risen year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share has been moved down by a penny to 85 cents in the past 30 days, indicating a 4.9% rise from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
Tractor Supply has a negative trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.7%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Brentwood, TN-based company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.4%.
Key Factors Likely to Impact TSCO’s Q2 ResultsTractor Supply’s second-quarter 2026 results are expected to reflect higher expenses for a while. The company expects an increase in SG&A expenses due to deleveraged fixed costs and an accelerated store opening cadence. On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management anticipated higher SG&A deleverage in the first half, owing to the timing of store openings, more normalized incentive compensation and the lapping of earlier strategic investments.
Our model indicates a 7.6% year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses for the second quarter, with the SG&A expense rate rising 50 basis points to 21.7%. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to increase 5.2% year over year.
Tractor Supply also faces headwinds from soft discretionary spending, pressured rural consumer demand and cautious big-ticket purchases. Persistent inflation and interest rates are weighing on traffic and ticket sizes, while weather volatility impacts seasonal categories. Margin pressure from elevated labor, freight and promotional activity remains concerning. Slower farm income trends and increased competition add to near-term uncertainty.
However, Tractor Supply has been gaining from consistent market share expansion and positive customer trends. In addition, the company benefits from the execution of its everyday low-price strategy. Tractor Supply is focused on its Life Out Here lifestyle assortment and convenient shopping format to attract customers and expand market share. The strategy is essentially based on five key pillars, which include customers, digitization, execution, team members and total shareholder return.
Our model indicates a 6.5% year-over-year increase in gross profit for the second quarter, with the gross margin increasing 60 basis points to 37.5%. Operating profit is expected to increase 5% year over year.
Tractor Supply is focused on its growth initiatives, which include the expansion of its store base and the incorporation of technological advancements to induce traffic and drive the top line. The major Life Out Here 2030 strategy aims to strengthen community engagement, drive traffic and enhance customer satisfaction through improved store accessibility and relevance. The company's store expansion efforts are key parts of its strategy to deliver sustainable growth in both urban-edge and rural markets.
What Does the Zacks Model Unveil for TSCO?Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Tractor Supply this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Academy Sports and Outdoors (TSCO 0.62%) and Tractor Supply (TSCO 0.62%) haven’t delivered meaningful revenue growth. But that’s largely due to macroeconomic factors out of these companies’ control. Both stocks trade at cheap valuations relative to their earnings. Whichever company can scale and grow revenue faster in the coming years may be the one that outperforms. Here’s a comparison of where these businesses stand today and how they are looking to expand.
Academy Sports and Outdoors: Maintaining Consistent RevenueAcademy Sports and Outdoors primarily generates revenue by selling a diverse inventory of sporting goods, outdoor recreation equipment, and athletic apparel directly to consumers through its widespread retail stores and digital platform. While it recently expanded its omnichannel capabilities by adding new same-day delivery partners and opening additional stores in satellite markets, it reported approximately 33% gross margin for the quarter ended May 2, 2026.
Tractor Supply: Navigating Revenue Peaks and TroughsTractor Supply earns most of its revenue by providing rural lifestyle products, including equine and livestock supplies, hardware, and seasonal goods, to recreational farmers and ranchers across the United States. It completed the acquisition of a veterinary services business, launched a storewide expansion of its hardware categories, and reported a net income margin of about 5% for the quarter ended March 28, 2026.
Why Revenue Matters for Retail InvestorsRevenue is the most fundamental measure of a company’s performance. Changes over time indicate a company’s ability to reach new customers, fend off competitors, and deliver long-term returns to shareholders. It’s particularly meaningful in comparing growth in this metric between two companies in the same sector.
Quarterly Revenue for Academy Sports and Outdoors and Tractor SupplyQuarter (Period End)Academy Sports and Outdoors RevenueTractor Supply RevenueQ3 2024$1.5 billion (period ended Aug. 2024)$3.5 billion (period ended Sept. 2024)Q4 2024$1.3 billion (period ended Nov. 2024)$3.8 billion (period ended Dec. 2024)Q1 2025$1.7 billion (period ended Jan. 2025)$3.5 billion (period ended March 2025)Q2 2025$1.4 billion (period ended May 2025)$4.4 billion (period ended June 2025)Q3 2025$1.6 billion (period ended Aug. 2025)$3.7 billion (period ended Sept. 2025)Q4 2025$1.4 billion (period ended Nov. 2025)$3.9 billion (period ended Dec. 2025)Q1 2026$1.7 billion (period ended Jan. 2026)$3.6 billion (period ended March 2026)Q2 2026$1.4 billion (period ended May 2026)Not yet reportedData source: Company filings.
Foolish TakeMacroeconomic headwinds, including soft consumer spending and tariffs, have stalled growth for many retail companies. This largely explains the revenue performance of Academy and Tractor Supply over the past two years.
However, Tractor Supply’s focus on essential consumer goods for its rural customer base has proven a bit more resilient. This is evident in relative revenue performance, with Tractor Supply posting slightly higher revenue in the last quarter compared to two years ago. At the same time, Academy Sports reported slightly lower total revenue in the most recent quarter than in the same quarter two years ago.
Weakness in consumer spending will be a lingering obstacle for both companies, but Tractor Supply offered stronger full-year guidance. It expects comparable store sales to increase between 1% to 3%. Meanwhile, Academy Sports and Outdoor is not far behind but expects comp sales to be flat to up 2% this year.
Tractor Supply has a more resilient business model built on selling essentials to rural customers. This is why the stock still commands a higher price-to-earnings valuation multiple of about 14x, compared to Academy Sports’ 7x forward earnings multiple.
Academy could offer more upside if it can find a consistent growth formula and scale to Tractor Supply’s size. Academy is seeing strong growth in its e-commerce business and continues to invest in its loyalty/credit card business, which could lead to higher repeat purchases over time.

Tractor Supply Company's earnings growth has stalled in the past couple of years as rural consumers' income has been pressured. The slowdown has captured the market narrative. TSCO's growth story still stands. Store performance looks to pick back up in 2026 already, and the retailer continues to expand its store network. Given a near-decade-low valuation, I estimate TSCO stock to have 50% upside to $46.2.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #4H--Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States; Starlink, the world's most advanced satellite constellation that delivers reliable broadband connectivity nationwide, including to locations where high-speed internet has traditionally been too expensive, unreliable or entirely unavailable; and 4-H, America's largest youth development organization, announced today an alliance aimed at expanding broadband access in.
Tractor Supply Co. is upgraded to buy as valuation compresses to 14x earnings despite only cyclical headwinds. TSCO's Q1 saw modest 3.6% revenue growth, with comp sales up just 0.5% and operating income down 6%, driven by external consumer pressures. Management views current challenges—fuel costs, pet market softness—as temporary, continues store expansion, and maintains positive long-term guidance.
The pet and rural lifestyle sectors have shown remarkable resilience in changing markets. Deciding between Chewy (CHWY +4.15%) and Tractor Supply (TSCO +0.51%) requires weighing digital convenience against physical dominance in your portfolio.
Chewy revolutionized pet ownership through its high-tech e-commerce platform and subscription-heavy model. Conversely, Tractor Supply serves the "life out here" crowd with essential hardware and farm supplies across thousands of stores. Both companies are expanding aggressively into pet health services, making them direct competitors in the lucrative animal care market.
The case for ChewyChewy operates in the competitive landscape of retail stocks by offering about 190,000 products through its website and apps. It recently expanded its pet healthcare ecosystem by acquiring Modern Animal, a technology-enabled veterinary provider. The company relies on its Autoship subscription program to drive customer retention and provide revenue visibility while partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for infrastructure.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $12.6 billion, representing growth of approximately 6.2% compared to the previous year. The company reported a net income of roughly $222.8 million for the period. This resulted in a net margin of close to 1.8%, which measures the percentage of revenue a company keeps as profit after all expenses.
As of its February 2026 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 1.1x while the current ratio was approximately 0.9x. These metrics compare total debt to shareholder equity and short-term assets to liabilities, respectively. Free cash flow reached nearly $562.4 million, but note that stock-based compensation represented roughly 43.1% of operating cash flow, which inflates reported cash generation since SBC is a non-cash expense added back in the cash flow statement.
The case for Tractor SupplyTractor Supply serves recreational farmers and ranchers through a network of 2,435 stores and a growing digital platform. The company recently acquired VIP Petcare and Allivet to integrate veterinary services and online pharmacy capabilities into its rural lifestyle ecosystem. These additions allow the company to offer a more comprehensive range of products and services to its pet-owning customer base.
In FY 2025, revenue reached close to $15.5 billion, a growth of roughly 4.3% over the prior year. The company generated a net income of approximately $1.1 billion during this period. This produced a net margin of about 7.1%, which indicates the percentage of revenue remaining after all operating and non-operating costs are paid.
As of the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 2.3x, representing total debt relative to shareholder equity. The current ratio was approximately 1.3x, which measures how easily the company can meet its short-term financial obligations. Free cash flow for the period was nearly $740.5 million, providing capital for further expansion or potential shareholder returns.
Risk profile comparisonChewy faces intense competition from e-commerce players like Amazon and traditional omnichannel retailers. The company must also manage complex federal and state regulations regarding its pharmacy and telehealth services. Furthermore, dependency on third-party technology providers creates risks for service outages that could impact its reputation and financial results.
Tractor Supply is sensitive to weather and climate events that can significantly alter demand for its seasonal agricultural products. The company relies on a global network of over 1,100 vendors, which presents risks if transportation delays or geopolitical tensions harm inventory availability and gross margins. Additionally, the company faces strategic integration risks as it incorporates new veterinary service businesses into its legacy retail operations.
Valuation comparisonTractor Supply trades at a lower forward P/E than the sector, while Chewy offers a lower P/S ratio relative to its revenue.

Pet owners know that both Chewy and Tractor Supply offer a wide range of products for their furry family members, but which stock belongs in a long-term portfolio? With Chewy, you’re largely betting on an industry disruptor that wants to bring the pet supplies market fully online, and then capture it. Unfortunately, it’s competing with arguably the best in the e-commerce game, in Amazon.
Tractor Supply targets a different approach, with its more than 2,000 stores across 49 states and products ranging from general pet supplies to agricultural products, tools, and equipment. It’s an established and essential business, but it also carries the risks of the agriculture market, including weather sensitivity and transportation network risks.
Both stocks have disappointed investors over the last five years, with Tractor Supply down nearly 10% since June 23, 2021, and Chewy dropping a whopping 78%. The last year paints a still ugly, but slightly different picture, with Chewy down about 60% and Tractor Supply losing 44% year over year. Clearly, both are facing operational and macroeconomic challenges, though at their current valuations, both may be strong contrarian buys. Despite its recent returns, I like Tractor Supply as a defensive option better than Chewy as a bet on industry disruption. It’s the only one of the two that pays a dividend and it seems to be a more defensive play with fewer industry competitors.
During two-week campaign, held in partnership with Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation, customers donated more than $547,000 to support animal shelters and rescues in the wake of natural disasters
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, announced today that its customers have contributed more than $547,000 to help provide a critical lifeline to animal shelters and rescues impacted by natural disasters through the Relief for Rescues Fund.
From May 26 to June 7, Tractor Supply customers donated to the Relief for Rescues Fund at checkout, either in store or at TractorSupply.com. Tractor Supply and Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation established the Relief for Rescues Fund in 2023. Since then, more than $1.6 million has been allocated to over 166 shelters and rescues in the wake of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes and other devastating events.
“Anyone who knows our customers realizes pretty quick that their pets are truly part of the family,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Tractor Supply’s chief marketing officer. “That’s why this partnership with Miranda and MuttNation resonates so strongly. When disasters strike, shelters and rescue organizations often face overwhelming challenges, and our customers never hesitate to lend a hand. Their generosity continues to make a meaningful difference, helping provide care and support for animals when they need it most.”
When natural disasters strike, Relief for Rescues provides funds directly to impacted shelters and rescues, as well as organizations offering boots-on-the-ground assistance, covering all aspects of recovery: food, supplies, veterinary care, transport and repairs. In 2025 alone, MuttNation Foundation deployed hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Fund to assist with recovery from multiple disasters, including the California wildfires in January and the Texas Hill Country floods in July.
“Animals are some of the most vulnerable victims of natural disasters, and after seeing the devastation of events like the Texas floods, I’m more committed than ever to making sure Relief for Rescues is there for every shelter that needs us," said Lambert.
The three-time GRAMMY Award-winning superstar partnered with Tractor Supply to create the Relief for Rescues Fund after witnessing the lack of resources available to animal shelters after catastrophic events. Together, they launched an in-store and online Tractor Supply fundraiser, using the initial money raised to create a dedicated fund.
Tractor Supply and MuttNation Foundation have collaborated since 2019 and together support MuttNation’s annual Mutts Across America program, providing grants to animal shelters nationwide. Tractor Supply is also the exclusive home for MuttNation pet products. A percentage of all MuttNation sales goes to the MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and facilitate adoption of shelter pets.
Little Red Wagon Pet Supply Drive
As part of its support of Miranda Lambert and the Music City Rodeo, Tractor Supply hosted a "Help Us Fill the Little Red Wagon" pet supply drive to benefit shelter animals in the Nashville community.
Held on May 28 at the Tractor Supply tent outside Bridgestone Arena, the activation encouraged rodeo fans to donate pet food, toys, treats and other pet care essentials for local shelter pets. To thank participants, the first 100 donors received a Tractor Supply gift card.
Donated supplies were collected during the event and donated to Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville, helping provide needed resources for animals awaiting adoption. The activation reflected Tractor Supply's ongoing commitment to supporting animal welfare and caring for pets in the communities it calls home.
MuttNation Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded by Lambert and her mother, Bev, in 2009, with a mission to promote the adoption of shelter pets, spay and neuter and to provide assistance to shelters during times of natural disaster.

Even as the S&P 500 has risen 20% over the past year and sits near an all-time high, many of my favorite consumer goods stocks haven't joined in on this run. In fact, three of them look like incredible buying opportunities thanks to their once-in-a-decade low valuations. While tech, AI-adjacent, and semiconductor stocks continue to propel the market to new highs, many steady-Eddie consumer goods stocks have been left behind but deserve a long look from investors today.
Here's the case for buying each of these top-tier operators while they are available at rarely seen valuations.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
1. Chewy: 58% below 52-week high Leading e-commerce pet goods juggernaut Chewy (CHWY +2.88%) has had a tumultuous run as a publicly traded company since its 2019 debut. Currently, its stock is 14% below its initial public offering (IPO) price and 58% below its 52-week high, which might prompt investors to think Chewy's a busted business.
But that notion couldn't be further from the truth. Over the last seven years, Chewy's sales have nearly quadrupled. It has reached profitability (alongside strong free-cash-flow generation) and expanded into numerous, higher-margin pet categories.
Most importantly for investors, the core of Chewy's operations -- its Autoship offering (repeat, scheduled purchases of necessary items like pet food) -- remains robust, accounting for 84% of the company's sales. The steady, predictable nature of Autoship's sales provides Chewy with ample cash flows to explore new areas such as private-label goods, Chewy Vet Clinics (CVCs), advertising, health and wellness, and even an expansion into Canada.

I believe Chewy is poised to begin reaping the rewards of its investments in high-margin areas, particularly through its CVCs. Following the company's acquisition of fellow vet clinic Modern Animal, Chewy expects to have roughly 60 CVCs open in 2026. These CVCs are important to the Chewy investment thesis because 40% of their new customers weren't previously in the Chewy ecosystem. Furthermore, these new customers spend roughly $900 in their first year with Chewy -- well above the company's average of $600 for its current customer base.
Trading near an all-time low price-to-sales ratio of 0.6 and with an adjusted forward price-to-earnings ratio of 12.5, Chewy with its rising margins and high single-digit sales growth looks deeply undervalued.
2. Sprouts Farmers Market: 50% below 52-week high Health food-focused grocer Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM 2.03%) has also seen its share price roughed up lately, dropping 50% below its 52-week high. However, this decline probably had more to do with its valuation getting stretched too far than anything going wrong with the actual business.
Despite the challenging consumer environment and Sprouts' slight premium pricing for its differentiated groceries, sales rose 4% in its latest quarter, while same-store sales (SSS) only dipped 2%. While no SSS decline is great, I don't think it is outrageous considering the circumstances, and Sprouts' deeply discounted valuation at just 15.6 times forward earnings more than accounts for these challenges.

Sprouts shifted to a smaller store format in the early 2020s and has become a true growth story ever since thanks to its rising margins and improved new-store economics. Sprouts plans to continue growing its store count by more than 10% annually as it expands beyond its current 483 stores in 25 states. Over the long term, management hopes to triple its store count -- and I don't believe that is unrealistic as consumers continue to shift toward healthier eating options, especially among soaring GLP-1 use.
If Sprouts can deliver anywhere near that level of store-count expansion -- while launching a new loyalty program and growing its private-label offerings -- the company could be a top-tier growth stock at today's valuation.
3. Tractor Supply Company: 51% below 52-week high Much like Sprouts Farmers Market, leading rural lifestyle retailer Tractor Supply Company (TSCO 0.03%) has seen its sales growth slow to 4%, and its stock has been absolutely pummeled as a result. Down 51% from its 52-week high -- and trading at a mere 15 times earnings -- Tractor Supply is being treated as though it is going out of business rather than the niche-leading behemoth that it is.
TSCO PE Ratio data by YCharts.
The company has 2,435 stores. Management's long-term goal of 3,200 doesn't offer a massive growth opportunity like Sprouts, but Tractor Supply should benefit from the ongoing shift toward rural migration in the U.S. Furthermore, the company's Neighbor's Club rewards program is home to over 38 million members, which account for roughly 80% of Tractor Supply's sales, highlighting how entrenched members are into their ecosystem.
Additionally, since Tractor Supply's operations are rural focused, it generates the bulk of its sales from consumable, usable, and edible products, such as livestock feed, pet food, and essential farm supplies. These repeat purchases make the company's Neighbor's Club a no-brainer in most cases.

Best yet for prospective Tractor Supply investors, the company's 3.1% dividend yield is at its highest-ever level, and the dividend has been raised for 16 straight years. Despite this, the dividend uses only 46% of Tractor Supply's net income, so it is still incredibly well funded. Thanks to Tractor Supply's growing dividend, its massive loyal member base, its once-in-a-decade low valuation, and rural migration trends in the U.S., the company makes for an excellent steady-Eddie dividend growth stock to buy and hold for a decade.

Key Takeaways Tractor Supply is betting on rural lifestyle demand to drive long-term growth and market share gains.TSCO's first-quarter sales rose 3.6% to $3.59B, helped by record store openings and 0.5% comps.Tractor Supply is localizing stores, growing Neighbor's Club and expanding Final Mile delivery. Tractor Supply Company (TSCO - Free Report) continues to lean into the growing rural lifestyle trend, positioning itself as a key destination for farm, ranch, pet and outdoor living needs. Despite a cautious consumer environment, the company remains confident that its "Life Out Here" strategy can drive long-term growth through market-share gains, store expansion and customer engagement initiatives.
In the first quarter of 2026, net sales increased 3.6% year over year to $3.59 billion, driven primarily by store openings. The company opened a record 40 stores in the first quarter and reported comparable-store sales growth of 0.5%. Management noted that spending remains focused on essentials, with consumers showing signs of trip consolidation and reduced shopping frequency. Even so, Tractor Supply believes that its need-based business model remains resilient.
The company is also investing aggressively in strategic initiatives tied to rural lifestyle demand. These include store localization, the expansion of its Neighbor's Club loyalty program, growth in direct sales and scaling of its Final Mile delivery network. More than 200 stores have now been localized to better reflect regional customer preferences, while digital sales continued to post strong double-digit growth.
However, challenges remain. The companion animal category, particularly dog-related products, continues to face industrywide headwinds due to declining dog ownership and shifting consumer preferences toward premium and fresh pet nutrition. Management is responding by expanding fresh pet offerings, increasing cat-related assortments and enhancing pet services.
With strong performance in livestock feed, seasonal categories and big-ticket products, Tractor Supply appears well-positioned to benefit from enduring rural lifestyle trends, provided it successfully navigates the evolving pet category dynamics and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Initial inventory of more than 1,000 units in stock, with orders scheduled for pickup, supporting Massimo's expected 2026 revenue growth strategy and continued national retail expansion
, /PRNewswire/ -- Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) ("Massimo" or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of powersports vehicles, utility vehicles, and outdoor mobility products, today announced that it has commenced revenue-generating fulfillment activities for its newly authorized in-store SKU program with Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States.
Massimo Motor GKS200 Retail Program The milestone follows the Company's previously announced authorization for a significant national rollout of a core utility-focused product across Tractor Supply's retail network. With initial inventory of more than 1,000 units now in stock and orders scheduled for pickup, Massimo has advanced from retail authorization into active fulfillment and revenue execution.
Management believes the program has the potential to become an important revenue contributor through the remainder of 2026 as fulfillment volumes, retail sell-through activity, and potential replenishment orders scale. The Company believes this transition from authorization to fulfillment validates Massimo's national retail growth strategy and its ability to convert large-scale retail opportunities into commercial execution.
"This is more than a retail authorization milestone — this is the beginning of revenue execution," said Quenton Petersen, Chief Executive Officer of Massimo Group. "A few months ago, we announced a significant retail opportunity. Today, we have inventory in stock, orders scheduled for pickup, and products beginning to move into the retail channel. We believe this demonstrates to our shareholders that Massimo is not simply announcing growth initiatives — we are executing against them."
Petersen continued, "Tractor Supply is one of the most important retail platforms serving rural lifestyle customers in the United States. We believe our products align strongly with that customer base, and we are proud to support this program with inventory readiness, fulfillment capability, operational execution, and a continued focus on quality and value."
Massimo believes the commencement of fulfillment activities represents another step in its broader 2026 growth strategy, which includes expanding national retail distribution, strengthening inventory availability, supporting sell-through performance, and building opportunities for future replenishment orders, subject to retail performance and mutual agreement.
The Company remains focused on disciplined execution across its retail channel, including fulfillment reliability, product availability, customer support, and continued collaboration with leading national retail partners. Massimo believes this program provides a scalable foundation for meaningful revenue contribution and long-term shareholder value creation.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Tractor Supply (TSCO - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 18.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Tractor Supply due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Tractor Supply's Q1 Earnings Miss, Higher Comparable Sales AidTractor Supply reported first-quarter 2026 results, wherein the bottom and top lines missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. While net sales increased from the year-ago period, earnings declined. It posted earnings of 31 cents per share, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 34 cents. The bottom line dipped 7.2% from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter.
Net sales grew 3.6% year over year to $3.59 billion but came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.64 billion. The rise in sales can be attributed to store openings and, to a lesser extent, higher comparable store sales (comps). Comps edged up 0.5% year over year compared with the 0.9% drop registered in the prior-year’s first quarter. The improvement reflects a 1.6% rise in comparable average ticket, partly offset by a 1% dip in the comparable average transaction count.
Four out of the five product categories posted positive comps in the reported quarter, complemented by strength in big-ticket items. Companion animal performance was below the company’s average, indicating weak demand trends, category shifts and an unfavorable product mix. The company reported solid double-digit growth in digital sales.
Tractor Supply’s Costs & MarginsGross profit rose 3.6% year over year to $1.30 billion. The gross margin remained flat year over year at 36.2%, as effective product cost management and solid execution of an everyday low-price strategy were mitigated by elevated tariffs and delivery-related transportation costs. Our model predicted gross profit to increase 8.5% and the gross margin to expand 70 basis points (bps) to 35.9%.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, including depreciation and amortization, rose 6.1% to $1.07 billion from $1.01 billion in the first quarter of 2025. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 70 bps to 29.7% from 29% in the year-ago quarter. This increase was owing to deleveraged fixed costs based on comps performance and an accelerated new store opening cadence, somewhat offset by a focus on productivity and cost control. Our model predicted SG&A expenses to increase 7.4% and, as a percentage of sales, this metric was anticipated to expand 50 bps to 26.1%.
Operating income for the quarter fell 6.3% year over year to $233.4 million. Meanwhile, the operating margin contracted 70 bps to 6.5%. We estimated operating income to drop 6.1% and the operating margin to fall 40 bps 6.8%.
TSCO’s Financial PositionTractor Supply ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $224.3 million, long-term debt of $2.13 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $2.51 billion. In first-quarter 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $91.1 million. In the same period, the company incurred capital expenditures of $202.6 million.
During first-quarter 2026, Tractor Supply returned $244.4 million to shareholders. This included the repurchase of 2.3 million shares of its common stock for $118 million and the payment of $244.4 million in quarterly cash dividends.
In the reported quarter, the company continued to expand its footprint by opening 40 Tractor Supply outlets, while closing one Petsense by Tractor Supply store.
Sneak Peek Into TSCO’s OutlookManagement reiterated guidance for 2026. The company still expects net sales growth of 4-6% and comps growth of 1-3%.
For 2026, the operating margin rate is projected between 9.3% and 9.6%. Net income is expected to be between $1.11 billion and $1.17 billion, with earnings per share anticipated to be $2.13-$2.23.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Tractor Supply has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Tractor Supply has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Tractor Supply Company is rated a 'Buy' after a 36% YTD decline, with shares now trading 21% below intrinsic value. Pet segment weakness, driven by declining dog ownership and Tractor Supply product mix, is a headwind but not a long-term structural risk. TSCO's 75% non-pet sales, expanding store footprint, exclusive brands, and robust loyalty program underpin resilient growth and margin strength.

Meet Tractor Supply Founded way back in 1938, Tractor Supply is focused on serving recreational farmers, ranchers, homeowners, gardeners, and pet owners, among others. It's the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the U.S., with 2,435 Tractor Supply stores in 49 states. It also encompasses more than 200 Petsense by Tractor Supply stores in 23 states, as well as Allivet, an online animal pharmacy.
Should you invest in Tractor Supply? The stock was a bit of a market darling for many years, but it has struggled lately. Its recently reported first quarter featured overall revenue up just 3.6% year over year, with earnings per share dipping 9%. Part of the problem has been weakness in its "companion animal product" category -- which includes pet foods and generates around a quarter of the company's overall revenue. The company is addressing its issues, in part by beefing up its fresh and frozen pet food offerings.
CEO Hal Lawton summarized the quarter:
We delivered solid performance across the majority of our business in the first quarter, supported by our needs-based model and ongoing customer engagement. We continued to gain market share in farm and ranch and had strong double-digit growth in digital sales. Performance was positive across four of our five product categories. While companion animal trailed the Company average, we are taking decisive actions to improve its performance. ... We remain confident in our outlook and our ability to drive continued market share gains as our customers remain engaged. The underlying health of Tractor Supply remains strong, supported by a loyal customer base, a differentiated business model and consistent execution.

Some research supports that view. For example, a 2026 report from Axiom Marketing found that gardening time and spending hit multi-year highs in 2025, with expectations for higher numbers in 2026.
It's true that Tractor Supply isn't performing as well as it might right now, but it's a sturdy and growing business with devoted customers, and plans to grow its revenue and earnings faster. (It's projecting revenue growth of 4% to 6% for 2026, for example.) The stock's recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15 is well below its five-year average of 22, suggesting that it's undervalued -- which is not surprising, given its drop of roughly 40% over the past three months.
Tractor Supply's solid dividend will reward patient believers while they wait for rosier results.

This combination of scores highlights a robust business model but signals caution regarding current market conditions.
What Are Insiders Doing with TSCO Stock? In the last three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Tractor Supply Co. This absence of insider buying or selling may suggest that executives are confident in the company's long-term prospects or are taking a wait-and-see approach given the current market conditions.

Tractor Supply Company today announced it has acquired the veterinary services business VIP Petcare.
VIP Petcare is the largest provider of mobile veterinary care in the United States, operating community clinics in approximately 2,700 retail locations with national and regional retail partners, including 1,700 Tractor Supply locations, across 39 states and serving more than one million pets annually. Bringing VIP Petcare’s veterinary services capabilities in-house strengthens Tractor Supply’s existing pet health platform.
Strategic Rationale
Enhances Tractor Supply’s position as the trusted destination for affordable, convenient pet care in underserved rural and exurban markets across America Creates a differentiated, end-to-end pet care offering spanning veterinary services, pharmacy, pet services and retail Combines VIP Petcare’s in-store veterinary clinics and 24/7 vet access and Allivet’s pharmacy capabilities, all anchored by Tractor Supply’s nationwide footprint, into a seamless omnichannel offering Increases customer engagement and enhances opportunities for the Company’s Neighbor’s Club loyalty program Unlocks long-term growth potential through integrated services, expanded pet care access including veterinarian telehealth and increased customer lifetime value in an asset-light manner “VIP Petcare has been a strong partner in helping us expand access to affordable pet care, and this acquisition builds on the unique combination of assets we have assembled across veterinary services, pet specialty, digital pharmacy and retail stores to better serve the millions of Tractor Supply customers who care for pets and animals, while continuing to support pet parents through VIP Petcare’s broader retail partner network. We believe this transaction strengthens our long-term competitive positioning while leveraging existing infrastructure and customer relationships in a capital-efficient manner,” said Hal Lawton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tractor Supply. “By bringing together VIP Petcare’s leading veterinary services platform with Tractor Supply’s nationwide footprint, Neighbor’s Club loyalty program and Allivet’s digital pharmacy capabilities, we are creating meaningful opportunities to further leverage our pet care portfolio through a differentiated omnichannel offering. We are incredibly excited to welcome the VIP Petcare team to Tractor Supply as we build the future of pet care together.”
“We believe this transaction represents a great outcome for both PetIQ and Tractor Supply and an exciting next chapter for our Veterinary Services business. Tractor Supply is uniquely positioned to continue growing and investing in the Veterinary Services business, creating exciting long-term opportunities for our teams to continue delivering exceptional care to pets and families across the country,” said Camillo Pane, Chief Executive Officer of PetIQ.
“Tractor Supply has been our largest and most strategic retail partner for more than a decade, and the cultural and operational fit is exceptional,” said Ari Macerollo, Vice President and Head of Veterinary Services at VIP Petcare. “Joining Tractor Supply gives our veterinarians, field teams and pet parents an even stronger platform to continue delivering high-quality, affordable veterinary care to communities across the country through Tractor Supply locations and our broader network of retail partners.”
Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Eagle, Idaho, VIP Petcare has grown to become the largest provider of mobile veterinary care in the United States, hosting more than 60,000 community veterinary clinics annually and serving more than one million pets each year through a network of approximately 2,500 contracted veterinarians and 36 field offices across 39 states. Operating under the VIP Petcare and PetVet brands, the business runs 90-minute community clinics at host retail locations with walk-in and online pre-registration available, delivering essential preventive care, including vaccines, diagnostic testing, flea, tick and heartworm prevention, deworming, microchipping and nail trimming, at price points that are more than 50% less than a traditional veterinary visit.

Tractor Supply Expands Truck, Tool and Hardware Assortment with Launch of SKIL Power Tools and Electrical Brands
These strategic investments combine accessible, high-performance power tools with a more intuitive, simplified shopping experience. By pairing professional-inspired tools with expanded electrical products from industry-leading brands, Tractor Supply is making it easier than ever for everyday DIYers, hobby farmers and contractors to find exactly what they need to get the job done in a single trip.
“We continue to see customers taking on more repair, maintenance and improvement projects themselves,” said Randall Dodds, Senior Vice President and General Merchandising Manager at Tractor Supply. “The addition of SKIL and the expansion of our electrical assortment reflect how Tractor Supply is evolving to better serve those project-driven customers with trusted brands, simplified shopping and solutions that fit the way they live and work.”
Performance Made Accessible with SKIL Power Tools
SKIL brings a 100-year legacy of proven performance rooted in real work. Built to handle tough conditions around the home or jobsite, the initial rollout includes over 30 tools and accessories in stores with an expanded assortment online. Key highlights of the lineup include the versatile flip drill, circular saw, impact driver and stapler, with an exclusive SKIL grease gun designed specifically for Tractor Supply customers scheduled to launch later this summer.
Designed with premium features at an affordable price, the SKIL brand delivers maximum convenience with universal USB-C charging and a single-battery system compatible across multiple tools.

Inaugural Fan Fair X Partnership to Feature Authentic Storytellers Including 2026 Life Out Here Emerging Artist Winner Gloria Anderson
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, is bringing the spirit of Life Out Here to country music’s biggest week through its inaugural sponsorship of the Tractor Supply Spotlight Stage at Fan Fair X during CMA Fest, highlighted by a special performance from 2026 Life Out Here Emerging Artist winner Gloria Anderson.
Located inside the Music City Center, the Tractor Supply Spotlight Stage will give fans an up-close experience with country music’s next generation of storytellers through intimate performances and live sets throughout CMA Fest from Thursday, June 4, through Sunday, June 7.
Tractor Supply is continuing to invest in supporting emerging artists and storytellers who reflect the values of the "Life Out Here" community. The Tractor Supply Spotlight Stage will feature live performances from 11 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. daily, showcasing a diverse lineup of country music’s most promising voices.
“Music has always been part of the heartbeat of Life Out Here,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply. “Country music tells stories of hard work, family, community and perseverance—the same values that resonate deeply with our customers. Sponsoring the Spotlight Stage at CMA Fest gives us an opportunity to support emerging artists, celebrate authentic storytelling and help connect their music with fans across the country.”
A native of Luling, Texas, and Belmont University alumna, Anderson’s journey from thousands of submissions to the Spotlight Stage exemplifies the Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program’s mission to open doors for artists who live and love the rural lifestyle. Joining her on the stage is fellow program finalist Dzaki Sukarno, along with dozens of other rising stars including Austin Mackay, The BoykinZ, Jake Hoot and Sacha.
First launched in 2023 with country music powerhouse Lainey Wilson, Tractor Supply’s Life Out Here Emerging Artist Program continues its dedicated mission to discover and support up-and-coming talent who reflect the heart, grit and spirit of the rural lifestyle. For the 2026 edition, the company expanded its country music footprint by partnering with CMA Award-winning artist Cody Johnson to serve as the program’s primary mentor. Through this collaboration, a nationwide search was conducted to find authentic storytellers, ultimately crowning Anderson as the 2026 grand winner. As part of her once-in-a-lifetime Nashville prize package, Anderson received exclusive industry mentorship, a recording session at the iconic Blackbird Studio, and the opportunity to perform as the opening act before a private Cody Johnson concert prior to making her appearance on the Tractor Supply Spotlight Stage.
Fan Fair X is the ultimate destination for one-of-a-kind fan experiences, offering meet-and-greets and immersive exhibits. Tickets for Fan Fair X are available for purchase at CMAfest.com/fanfairx.
