Description: AZO AutoZone September 26, 2025

AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE: AZO) operates a network of retail and distribution outlets that sell a broad assortment of automotive replacement parts, accessories, and related services across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Its product mix spans hard-goods such as engines, brakes, and batteries, consumables like fluids and filters, and ancillary items ranging from car-care chemicals to snack foods, complemented by commercial credit, delivery services, and digital offerings under the ALLDATA and Duralast brands.

In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2024), AutoZone generated approximately $14.5 billion in revenue, delivering a same-store sales growth of 7.2% and an operating margin of roughly 15.5%, both comfortably above the automotive retail peer average. Free cash flow stood at $2.1 billion, supporting a dividend yield near 2.1% and a share-repurchase program that has returned over $1 billion to shareholders since 2022. Inventory turnover improved to 5.8×, indicating efficient stock management amid lingering supply-chain constraints.

The company’s performance is closely tied to macro-level trends: the U.S. vehicle fleet’s average age has risen to about 12.1 years, fueling DIY and professional-shop demand for aftermarket parts; inflation-driven labor cost pressures have made cost-conscious consumers favor parts-instead-of-service solutions; and a tight new-car supply has accelerated parts sales for older models. AutoZone’s extensive store footprint (≈ 6,600 locations) and its robust e-commerce platform (autozone.com) position it to capture both in-store foot traffic and the growing online aftermarket market, which is projected to expand at a 5-6% CAGR through 2028.

Given these dynamics, a deeper dive into AutoZone’s valuation metrics and competitive positioning on ValueRay could help clarify whether its current premium is justified relative to sector peers.
