LKQ (LKQ) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LKQ has demonstrated robust financial performance, with segment EBITDA margins achieving a record 10.1% after increasing by 180 basis points, indicating enhanced operational efficiency. Additionally, the company's self-service revenue rose by 11% to $131 million, accompanied by a significant 57% increase in segment EBITDA, reflecting successful sales growth within this segment. Overall, the EBITDA margin climbed by 50 basis points to 16.8%, driven by reductions in overhead expenses, legal settlements, and synergies from acquisitions, which collectively support a strong financial outlook.
Bears say
LKQ reported a decrease of 4.1% in revenue to $3.36 billion in Q4/24, alongside a 4.7% decline in adjusted EPS, indicating potential challenges in sustaining its revenue growth. The company experienced a significant organic parts and service revenue decline of 7.2%, which raises concerns regarding its market competitiveness and demand dynamics. Although the total leverage ratio slightly improved to 2.3x, the persistent declines in core revenue metrics overshadow this positive development, contributing to a negative outlook on the stock.
