To choose the top 100, IBD looked for the top 15% of the 2,360 companies whose stock price was $10 or higher and traded in the U.S. They then screened companies with IBD Composite Rating of 85 or better followed by Relative Strength Rating and EPS Rating. Finally, companies were ranked by Dow Jones ESG data.

In September, Tractor Supply announced new, robust ESG goals to further reduce carbon emissions from its operations as well as new diversity, equity and inclusion goals (DE&I).
