Is Tractor Supply Company under- or over-valued?
Valuing Tractor Supply Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tractor Supply Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Tractor Supply Company's P/E ratio
Tractor Supply Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Tractor Supply Company shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Tractor Supply Company's PEG ratio
Tractor Supply Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.976. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Tractor Supply Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Tractor Supply Company's EBITDA
Tractor Supply Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.3 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Tractor Supply Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 4.9 million Tractor Supply Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Tractor Supply Company's "short interest". This figure is 17.2% up from 4.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Tractor Supply Company shares can be evaluated.
Tractor Supply Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Tractor Supply Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Tractor Supply Company shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Tractor Supply Company shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). Tractor Supply Company's SIR currently stands at 4.23. In other words for every 100,000 Tractor Supply Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4230 shares are currently held short.
However Tractor Supply Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Tractor Supply Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Tractor Supply Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Tractor Supply Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Tractor Supply Company shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0478% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Tractor Supply Company shares, roughly 48 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Tractor Supply Company.
