Description: AZO AutoZone January 29, 2026
AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE:AZO) is a leading retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts and accessories across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, serving passenger cars, SUVs, vans, and light-duty trucks with a broad assortment that includes both new and remanufactured hard parts, maintenance items, and non-automotive merchandise.
Key recent performance metrics (FY 2024 Q3): revenue of $4.2 billion, up 5.8% year-over-year; comparable-store sales grew 4.3% driven by higher DIY demand and a 2.1% increase in average transaction size; inventory turnover accelerated to 5.9×, reflecting tighter supply-chain management.
Sector drivers that underpin AutoZone’s outlook include the rising average age of the U.S. vehicle fleet (now 12.1 years, a 12-month high), which fuels parts-replacement demand, and a sustained labor-shortage in independent repair shops that pushes consumers toward DIY purchases.
For a deeper quantitative view, see the AZO profile on ValueRay.
