Tractor Supply and 4-H Collaborate With Starlink to Bridge the Digital Divide in Rural CommunitiesJune 26, 2026 5:29 PM
Business Wire Initiative improves broadband access and educational opportunities for rural youth served by 4-H clubs Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States; Starlink, the world’s most advanced satellite constellation that delivers reliable broadband connectivity nationwide, including to locations where high-speed internet has traditionally been too expensive, unreliable or entirely unavailable; and 4-H, America’s largest youth development organization, announced today an alliance aimed at expanding broadband access in rural communities while supporting the next generation of Beyond Ready rural leaders. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260626979397/en/Vice President of Satellite Policy at Space X David Goldman, U.S. Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins, President and CEO of National 4-H Council Jill Bramble, and Tractor Supply President and CEO Hal Lawton announce alliance at the Great American State Fair. The initiative combines Starlink's reliable connectivity, Tractor Supply's nationwide rural footprint and 4-H’s ability to reach youth in every county across the country through Cooperative Extension to help address the digital divide that continues to impact millions of Americans. As part of the initiative: Starlink will provide 100 Starlink kits and service to designated 4-H clubs serving rural youth, generating opportunities for students to participate in STEM, educational and workforce development programs. For eligible Starlink kits purchased through Tractor Supply stores and TractorSupply.com, Starlink will donate the value of the customer’s first month of subscription service directly to National 4-H Council, generating sustainable funding for local 4-H programs. Tractor Supply will donate $500,000 to the National 4-H Council to kick off the initiative. Earlier today, at the Great American State Fair, U.S. Agriculture Department Secretary Brooke Rollins joined Tractor Supply President and CEO Hal Lawton, Jill Bramble, President and CEO of National 4-H Council, and David Goldman, Vice President of Satellite Policy at SpaceX to announce the alliance and discuss the ongoing need for greater internet access in rural communities. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 22.3 percent of Americans in rural areas lack standard broadband internet coverage, as compared to only 1.5 percent of Americans in urban areas. While the digital divide has decreased since 2020, it remains a significant barrier to education, workforce development, health care and economic opportunity for millions. With Starlink’s reliable internet, Tractor Supply’s unmatched rural retail footprint and 4-H’s extensive youth development network, the alliance can increase access to broadband technology while providing funding for programs that develop critical life skills, expand access to STEM and support learning by doing. “Connecting the unconnected has always been at the core of Starlink’s mission. We’re excited to work with Tractor Supply and 4-H to help bring reliable, high-speed internet to rural communities across America. By expanding access, we can support 4-H’s efforts to deliver STEM education and create new opportunities for youth,” said David Goldman, Vice President of Satellite Policy at SpaceX. “Our rural communities are vibrant, resilient and essential to our nation's future. Providing them with reliable broadband isn't just about connectivity—it’s about giving the next generation the tools to build, thrive and prosper right where they are,” said Hal Lawton, President and CEO of Tractor Supply. “Since 2020, closing the digital divide has been a priority for Tractor Supply. We have leveraged the scale of our more than 2,400 stores by providing free Wi-Fi in our parking lots to help neighbors stay connected when they need it most. We are excited to work with Starlink to make even greater progress while empowering millions of young people with the resources they need to succeed.” Since 2010, Tractor Supply has partnered with National 4-H Council to raise more than $27 million for future leaders through its bi-annual Paper Clover fundraiser. “As 4-H works to reach 10 million young people by 2030, expanding digital access is critical, particularly in rural communities where connectivity remains a barrier,” said Jill Bramble, President and CEO of National 4-H Council. “We are grateful for Tractor Supply’s continued commitment and proud to welcome Starlink as a supporter in preparing the next generation to be Beyond Ready.” To learn more, visit 4-H.org.

Tractor Supply Company Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2026 OutlookApril 21, 2026 6:55 AM
Business Wire
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States (the “Company”), today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 28, 2026.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260421543068/en/

Net Sales Increased 3.6% to $3.59 Billion

Comparable Store Sales Increased 0.5%

Diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”) of $0.31

Company Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook, Including Comparable Store Sales Growth of 1% to 3% and Diluted EPS of $2.13 to $2.23

“We delivered solid performance across the majority of our business in the first quarter, supported by our needs-based model and ongoing customer engagement. We continued to gain market share in farm and ranch and had strong double-digit growth in digital sales. Performance was positive across four of our five product categories. While companion animal trailed the Company average, we are taking decisive actions to improve its performance. I want to thank our more than 52,000 Team Members for their ongoing dedication to serving our customers and living our Mission and Values each day,” said Hal Lawton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tractor Supply.

“We remain confident in our outlook and our ability to drive continued market share gains as our customers remain engaged. The underlying health of Tractor Supply remains strong, supported by a loyal customer base, a differentiated business model and consistent execution.”

First Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 increased 3.6% to $3.59 billion from $3.47 billion in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net sales was driven by robust new store openings and, to a lesser extent, growth in comparable store sales. Comparable store sales increased 0.5% compared to a decrease of 0.9% in the prior year’s first quarter. Comparable average ticket increased 1.6%, partially offset by a comparable average transaction count decrease of 1.0%. The Company delivered strong double-digit growth in digital sales. Four of five product categories delivered positive comparable sales growth in the quarter, complemented by strength in big ticket items. Companion animal performance was below the Company average, reflecting softer demand trends, category shifts and an unfavorable product mix.

Gross profit increased 3.6% to $1.30 billion from $1.26 billion in the prior year’s first quarter, and gross margin was flat with the prior year at 36.2%. The gross margin rate benefited from disciplined product cost management and the continued execution of an everyday low price strategy, offset by higher tariffs and delivery-related transportation costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 6.1% to $1.07 billion from $1.01 billion in the prior year’s first quarter. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 70 basis points to 29.7% from 29.0% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in SG&A, as a percent of net sales, was primarily attributable to deleverage of fixed costs given the comparable store sales performance and an accelerated new store opening cadence, partially offset by an ongoing focus on productivity and cost discipline.

Operating income decreased 6.3% to $233.4 million from $249.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The effective income tax rate was 23.2% compared to 21.8% in the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate for the prior year’s first quarter was impacted by the timing of discrete items.

Net income decreased 8.3% to $164.5 million from $179.4 million in the prior year’s first quarter. Diluted EPS decreased 7.2% to $0.31 compared to $0.34.

The Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock for $118.0 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $126.4 million, returning a total of $244.4 million of capital to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026.

The Company opened 40 new Tractor Supply stores and closed one Petsense by Tractor Supply store in the first quarter of 2026.
