Description: AZO AutoZone December 03, 2025
AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE: AZO) is a leading retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts and accessories across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Its product portfolio spans new and remanufactured hard parts, maintenance items, and a broad range of non-automotive goods, sold through a network of over 6,600 stores and multiple e-commerce channels, including the ALLDATA diagnostic software platform and the Duralast private-label line.
In FY 2023 the company generated roughly $13.7 billion in revenue, delivering a 5.2% same-store sales increase and an operating margin near 15%, underscoring the resilience of the DIY automotive repair segment. Key economic drivers include rising vehicle-miles-travelled (VMT) as the U.S. fleet ages, and a modest inflation-adjusted price-elasticity that allows AutoZone to maintain pricing power while consumers defer dealership service. The sector benefits from a low-capex business model and strong cash conversion, which supports its ongoing share-repurchase program.
For a deeper, data-driven assessment of AZO’s valuation and risk profile, you may find the analyst notes on ValueRay worth reviewing.
