Let's talk about the popular Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ:TSCO). The company's shares saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. The recent jump in the share price has meant that the company is trading around its 52-week high. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let's take a look at Tractor Supply's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Tractor Supply Still Cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It's trading around 18.05% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Tractor Supply today, you'd be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $245.29, then there isn't really any room for the share price grow beyond what it's currently trading. What's more, Tractor Supply's share price may be more stable over time (relative to the market), as indicated by its low beta.

What does the future of Tractor Supply look like?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it's the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 20% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Tractor Supply. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? TSCO's optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven't considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on TSCO, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
