AutoZone (AZO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
AutoZone’s positive outlook is bolstered by a 5.9% increase in transaction count on a same-store basis, indicating robust share gains and successful business development. The company experienced significant growth in its domestic Commercial segment, with same-store sales rising over 12% and commercial sales increasing by 14.5%, reflecting strong momentum in capturing market share. Additionally, AutoZone's international performance contributed positively, as same-store sales in constant currency rose 3.7%, while average ticket prices across segments showed encouraging growth due to inflation and improved product mix.
Bears say
AutoZone's financial outlook appears negative due to a decrease in the fiscal year 2027 earnings per share (EPS) forecast, which was revised downward to $185.91, reflecting higher selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses as well as an anticipated decline in EBIT margin to 18.0%. The company's performance has been further impacted by weaker traffic numbers, including a notable 3.4% decline in do-it-yourself consumer traffic and challenges related to weather conditions affecting sales during key months. Additionally, the revised expectations include a lowered EPS forecast for fiscal year 2026 to $148.42, which signals a broader concern regarding the company's growth trajectory amidst rising operational costs.
