Tractor Supply Stock Performance

On Saturday, Tractor Supply shares were priced at $31.48. The stock has been trading under some weight lately, sitting well below its 52-week high of $58.68. It is currently hovering just a few dollars above its 52-week low of $28.36. With a market capitalization of roughly $16.85 billion, the company carries a P/E ratio of 16.84, which is a common way to measure if a stock is expensive or cheap by comparing its price to its earnings. Investors often look at this alongside the forward P/E, which is 15.78 for Tractor Supply, suggesting expectations for earnings to hold steady or grow slightly in the coming year.

Recent Earnings

In its most recent financial reports, Tractor Supply posted annual revenue of $15.75 billion, showing a modest growth rate of 2.3%. The company is profitable, with a net margin of 6.4% and an ROE (return on equity) of 39.5%. ROE is a measure of how effectively a company uses shareholder money to generate profit. Looking ahead, the company is scheduled to release its next set of financial results on October 22, 2026.

Dividend

Tractor Supply pays its shareholders a regular dividend. The current annual dividend rate is $0.96 per share, which gives the stock a dividend yield of 2.97%. The company uses about 49% of its earnings to pay these dividends, a figure known as the payout ratio. This suggests the company is returning roughly half of its profits to investors while keeping the other half to reinvest in its retail stores and distribution network.
