KeyBanc initiates coverage on Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO) with a Buy. PT $80.00.

KeyBanc analyst says, "TSCO is a unique retailer with a product mix aimed toward the lifestyle needs of the rural homeowner; product mix ranges from animal feed to home improvement products to apparel and footwear. The Company operates 1,043 stores with a longer-term target of 1,800 stores nationally and annual unit growth of 8%. Beyond store growth, comps are positioned to benefit from numerous merchandising and advertising initiatives, with potential upside from a recovery in ticket and housing. With an excellent management team and opportunities in price optimization, inventory management, private label and global sourcing, we believe long-term margin guidance could also prove conservative."
