This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Autozone Inc. has been positively evaluated by experts, highlighting its strong performance, particularly in the used car market, which may benefit from recent tariffs on new car parts. The company has demonstrated solid same-store sales growth, although there was an earnings miss in its latest report. Experts point out that the core American business remains robust, with optimism from the CEO about future prospects. Autozone's significant presence in Latin America could be affected by currency fluctuations, but its strategic focus on share buybacks and expansion in commercial services has garnered favor. With the growing trend of consumers holding onto their vehicles longer due to the high cost of new cars, Autozone's business model appears favorable in the current economic climate.

Valuation

BUY

Used cars should do well after all these tariffs, which will make new cars more expensive and used ones (and repairs on existing cars) more attractive. They last reported strong same-store sales growth and an earnings miss. They have hundreds of stores in Mexico and Brazil, so currency fluctuations hurt them. The core American business is solid, though. The CEO is optimistic about this year. Is still up 15% this year. Yes, Trump has slapped 25% tariffs on foreign car parts, but Americans will pay up for those because they must use their cars--a necessary expense. Buys back a lot of shares.

DON'T BUY

They report Tuesday. Will include results in China; any company reporting about China should be regarded skeptically. It is buying back a ton of shares, though. Can it sidestep tariff worries?

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He likes it for their commercial business and Latin American operations. People are holding onto their cars longer. He'd buy here.

BUY

It's a trade-down necessity thesis in cars. Buying a new car is expensive, so people will stick with their cars longer.



BUY

They're growing their commercial business in Mexico, people are holding onto their cars longer and they manage their margin expansion well. Still likes it.

We do not see any significant news driving AZO's price lower other than institutional transactions. Barclays did slightly lower its target price recently. We continue to like AZO and at current levels it remains an attractive buy. AZO is also known to aggressively buy back shares.

BUY
Strongly upgraded today

International sales are growing nicely, such as Brazil where they just started doing business. The main thing is that equipment costs have fallen, so gross margins have expanded. Also, the average age of a car is 12.5 years which benefits AZO.

BUY

Auto supplies are very hit-or-mess, which is why he likes AZO, because they buy back a lot of shares, which gives him the assurance he needs.

BUY

Likes it; they keep buying back shares.

BUY

It sat out the rally this year, but continues to execute. Has owned this a long time.

PARTIAL BUY
They report Tuesday

Few know that AZO is doing so well, like buying a ton of shares back. AZO is doing much better than AAP. Buy partially before earnings, then more if the stock goes down.

BUY
AAP question

Prefers the best-in-breed, AutoZone and has felt that for many years.

BUY

He likes today's price action on Carmax which is popping after its quarter. He sees upside in AZO's commercial segment. Cars are aging, and AZO plays well into this space this way.

BUY

Supply chains have cleared up. He sees opportunity in AZO's commercial segment.

BUY

He sees upside in the commercial segment.
