The current case for continuing to hold
The stored model values Tractor Supply Co at $27.79 per share against $33.65, versus $14.99 at the previous review on Oct 23, 2026. The case rests on the conditions below.
| Reason to hold | Supporting evidence | Contrary evidence | Condition to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue growth (yr 1): 3%Supported by the reviewed evidence | Trailing 4-year revenue CAGR of 3.0%, faded toward terminal growth over 5 years. | None in the last 45 days | Re-underwrite if revenue growth, margins, or the cost of capital diverge materially from the stored assumptions. |
| Operating margin (steady-state): 9.89%Supported by the reviewed evidence | Anchored to mean operating margin of 9.9% across the last 4 reported periods. | None in the last 45 days | Re-underwrite if revenue growth, margins, or the cost of capital diverge materially from the stored assumptions. |
| Discount rate (WACC): 6.91%Changed since the previous review | CAPM baseline: 5.05% risk-free + β0.34 × 5.5% ERP = 6.91%. | None in the last 45 days | Re-underwrite if revenue growth, margins, or the cost of capital diverge materially from the stored assumptions. |
