Description: AAP Advance Auto Parts November 07, 2025

Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:AAP) is a leading U.S. automotive aftermarket retailer that supplies a broad catalog of parts and services-including batteries, brakes, engine components, fluids, and accessories-to both professional installers and DIY customers. The company operates under the Advance Auto Parts and Carquest brands across the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, and through franchised Carquest stores in Mexico and the Caribbean.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately **$10.5 billion**, with **comparable store sales up 6% YoY**, driven by a rising average vehicle age (now ~12 years) that fuels parts demand. Inventory turnover improved to **5.2×**, reflecting tighter supply-chain management, while the DIY segment contributed roughly **45% of total sales**, a proportion that tends to expand in periods of higher consumer confidence. Macro-level drivers include the **U.S. vehicle fleet aging trend** and the **gradual shift toward electric vehicles**, which could reshape parts mix and service offerings over the next decade.
