O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) Stock Forecast & Price Target
O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
O'Reilly Automotive demonstrated robust commercial sales growth, increasing by over 13%, alongside a notable 10% rise in commercial same-store sales, indicating a strong competitive position and continued market share gains. The company’s focus on expanding its store footprint, with plans to open 225-235 new locations in 2026, supports its strategy for sustained growth, especially in the dynamic U.S. automotive aftermarket space. Additionally, the firm’s ability to improve gross profits, along with an upward trend in its customer base and strong performance metrics, reinforces a positive outlook for its financial health moving forward.
Bears say
O'Reilly Automotive's stock outlook is negatively influenced by a notable deleveraging of selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, which decreased by 61 basis points even amidst stronger sales compared to last year. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.71, slightly below the consensus estimate of $0.72, and experienced an operating profit shortfall with EBIT at $829 million, missing consensus expectations of $836 million despite robust revenue generation. Additionally, employment trends, which typically correlate with retail sales, are declining, presenting further risks to future sales performance, and O'Reilly's relatively high valuation compared to peers raises concerns about downside potential in bearish market conditions.
