Tractor's 0.39% Gains in 444th-Ranked $250M Volume Amid Agricultural Demand Concerns

On October 8, 2025, Tractor (TSCO) saw a trading volume of $0.25 billion, ranking 444th among stocks by volume. The stock closed with a 0.39% gain, reflecting modest activity in a broader market context.

Recent developments indicate renewed focus on Tractor’s operational efficiency amid evolving supply chain dynamics. Analysts noted that the company’s recent strategic adjustments in production capacity align with sector-wide cost-optimization trends. However, market participants remain cautious about near-term demand fluctuations in key agricultural markets, which could impact revenue visibility.

Investor sentiment appears influenced by broader macroeconomic signals, including interest rate expectations and input cost trends. While Tractor’s current valuation multiples remain below historical averages, the lack of concrete earnings catalysts has limited upside potential. Institutional buying activity has been uneven, with no major fund disclosing new positions in the latest filings.

To run this back-test accurately I’ll need a bit more detail about how you’d like the daily portfolio constructed and valued: 1. Trade-time and price • Should we buy at the day’s close and sell at the next day’s close, or use open prices? 2. Weighting method • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, or weight by dollar volume / market-cap? 3. Trading universe • U.S. listed common stocks only (NYSE + NASDAQ), or include ETFs / ADRs, etc.? 4. Slippage & costs • Do you want to assume zero costs, or apply an estimate (e.g., 5 bps each side)? Once I have these details I can configure the back-test engine (including reasonable defaults if you prefer).
