Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO) price target raised $2 to $89.00.

Nomura analyst, Aram Rubinson, said, "Yesterday, TSCO pre-announced revenues of $1.24 billion and same store sales of +7.6% (+6.5% excluding an extra comp day in the period). This was ahead of our expectations of +2.5%, and guidance that was simply “positive”. TSCO was lapping a Q4/2010 comp of +13.1%. This suggests the two-year comp for Q4 accelerated to +20.7%, from +16.5% in Q3. For the full-year 2011, the two-year trend should exceed 15%. We are increasing our comp expectations for F2012 and F2013 to +5% and +4.5% (from +4.5% and +4.0%), respectively. We now look for F2011 EPS of $3.00 (up from $2.90). Our F2012 and F2013 numbers go to $3.65 and $4.40 (from $3.52 and $4.20), respectively."
