Revenue rose to $3.77 billion from $3.66 billion in the same period last year. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were looking for revenue of $3.78 billion. Brentwood, Tenn.-based Tractor Supply said that the increase in revenue was driven by new store openings and growth in comparable store sales, which increased 0.6% compared to the prior year's quarter.
