Overall, based on our work, actual 2Q results landed in our view of buyside Leisure

expectations with the $1.90-2.00 guide for 2026 also hitting the mark. The Christopher Horvers, CFA AC

company had some “tariff benefits” in gross margin (which appears reinvested in (1-212) 622-1316

its “price/value” investments so not per se a 2027 lap) and noted positive comps christopher.horvers@jpmorgan.com

in April and June (we would suspect modestly so). The flat to down 1% comp Christian Carlino, CFA

similar to LOW’s. One would expect a question on the durability of its 3-5% comp jolie.wasserman@jpmchase.com

algo, but we note that the 2027 SSS estimate per Consensus Metrix has come down J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

to +2.3% and could tick down further after today’s results (i.e., TSCO may not need

to walk 2027 down on the conference call). Net-net, we continue to expect some

relief in the stock as 2026 appears right-sized and the debate on 2027 moves to

another day.

• TSCO reported mixed results with $0.81 EPS in line with the Street per

Consensus Metrix, with -1.5% comps, below the Street’s -0.3%. More

specifically, +0.2% ticket growth was more than offset by a -1.7% traffic
