AZO Frequently Asked Questions
What does AutoZone do?
AutoZone sells replacement parts, maintenance supplies, and accessories for cars and trucks through thousands of stores across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. The business serves two distinct customer types: everyday consumers fixing their own vehicles — the traditional do-it-yourself channel — and professional repair shops that need parts delivered quickly through its commercial program. That commercial business has expanded significantly, requiring AutoZone to build out distribution and delivery infrastructure to compete with O'Reilly and Advance Auto Parts for the shop trade.
Is AZO stock a good investment?
AutoZone has been one of the most effective compounders in retail, largely because it has returned virtually all free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases rather than dividends. The share count has declined dramatically over the decades, powering per-share earnings growth even when top-line growth is modest. The automotive aftermarket tends to hold up well in recessions, as people repair aging vehicles instead of buying new ones. Valuation is not cheap given these qualities, and commercial market share gains will determine whether growth reaccelerates.
Who are AutoZone's main competitors?
O'Reilly Automotive is AutoZone's most direct competitor, matching it nearly store-for-store in the U.S. and competing aggressively for commercial accounts. Advance Auto Parts lags both but remains a significant national player. Genuine Parts Company (NAPA) dominates the independent parts distributor network. Amazon has made inroads in the online retail segment, though the immediate-availability nature of auto repair makes physical stores harder to displace than typical retail categories.
What makes AZO stock unique?
AutoZone has never paid a cash dividend, instead channeling nearly all excess cash into share buybacks for decades. This approach has reduced the share count so substantially that earnings per share have compounded at a rate far above revenue growth. Combined with the defensive nature of auto parts demand and a store network that acts as a physical distribution advantage, the model has produced exceptional long-term shareholder returns with relatively low sensitivity to economic cycles.
What is the current share price of AZO?
AZO last closed at $3,386.14, up 1.20% in the most recent trading session. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a low of $3,210.72 and a high of $4,388.11. The current price represents 15% of its 52-week range, which helps investors gauge where the stock sits relative to its recent trading history.
Is AZO rated a buy or sell by analysts?
Among 33 analysts covering AZO, the consensus rating is Strong Buy — 26 rate it a buy, 7 hold, and 0 sell. The average price target sits at $163.83, implying 95% downside from the current price. Keep in mind that analyst targets reflect 12-month expectations and can shift quickly after earnings reports or major company events.
What are Autozone Inc's earnings?
Autozone Inc generated $18.14B in revenue during fiscal year 2026, with $2.39B reaching the bottom line as net income. The net profit margin of 13.2% is solid for its sector.
How is AZO valued compared to earnings?
AZO trades at a P/E ratio of 25.11 on trailing earnings of $143.47 per share. That's roughly in line with the broader market average of ~20-25x. Comparing this multiple against Retail sector peers gives better context than the broad market alone, since P/E norms vary significantly across industries.
What is AZO's return over the past year?
Performance varies across timeframes, reflecting shifting market conditions. Returns by timeframe: -1.81% (3M), -20.77% (6M), -8.03% (1Y), +2.49% (YTD). Comparing these figures against the S&P 500 and sector benchmarks helps determine whether AZO is outperforming or lagging the broader market.
