AutoZone (AZO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
AutoZone's strong performance is underscored by a 3.9% increase in average ticket size, primarily driven by a 2.8% inflation in like-for-like same SKUs and an improved product mix. The company's domestic Do-It-Yourself (DIY) segment demonstrated resilience, achieving a 2.2% increase in same-store sales, further supported by robust growth in the domestic Commercial/DIFM business, which saw a 6% increase and an impressive sequential acceleration from 10.7% to approximately 11%. With its extensive store footprint and strong sales performance across various segments, AutoZone is positioned positively for continued growth in the automotive aftermarket space.
Bears say
AutoZone has revised its EPS estimate downward due to an expected EBIT margin decrease from 19.5% to 18.0%, primarily attributed to expenses related to store growth and approximately $360 million in LIFO charges. The company's recent quarterly results showed mixed outcomes, with sales aligning with expectations while EPS fell short. Additionally, the forecast for FY26 EPS has been adjusted down from $170.00 to $153.58, indicating a modest year-over-year growth of only 6.0%.
