Autozone Inc. (AZO-N) has received mixed reviews from experts, indicating a complex investment landscape. Despite experiencing a slight decline of 2% over the past six months and a more significant pullback of 22% from recent highs, the company is recognized for its strong buyback strategy, having reduced its shares by 45% since the end of 2015. One review highlights that the stock is up an impressive 3,582% over the last two decades, hinting at its long-term resilience. Additionally, the aging car population in the U.S. presents a unique opportunity for Autozone, as consumers are more likely to maintain their existing vehicles rather than purchase new ones. With earnings reports approaching, there is a sense of optimism among some experts that the firm’s consistent performance could lead to better results in the next quarter.

Bryden TeichAuto parts retailer. Trading at about 13X earnings. There was a scare about 2 months ago when Amazon (AMZN-Q) decided they wanted to be in this space. Last quarter results were weak due to milder weather and some delay in tax refunds. Trading at 13X earnings with a 6% free cash flow yield. They can provide services Amazon can’t, such as instructional videos, as well as lending tools and disposing of used oil. (Analysts’ price target is $737.50.)

(Top Short Sept 21/07. Up 14% on this Short.) Current conditions will make it difficult for people to keep on driving so will have fewer need for auto repairs. It remains an excellent Short.
