Q4 comps hurt by 100bps hurricane lap and soft big-ticket demand
Tractor Supply reported Q4 2025 results slightly below expectations due to a lack of hurricane-related demand and soft discretionary categories, but maintained that underlying trends are healthy. Management guided for a normalization year in 2026 with modest comp and EPS growth, driven by cost discipline and scaling strategic initiatives like direct sales and final mile delivery. Q4 comp sales +0.3%, below plan, with ~100bps headwind from lapping hurricane response; full-year comps +1.2%.
