Bulls say / Bears say

Free cash flow of $243 million in Q2, up 82.7% year-over-year, underscores robust cash generation and a strong operational cash flow profile (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/lkq-posts-19-percent-revenue-drop-q2).
The company realized over $125 million in cost savings during the past 12 months and targets an additional $75 million in 2025, bolstering margins and operational efficiency (https://www.autobodynews.com/news/lkq-organic-revenue-down-again-in-q2-net-income-slightly-higher).
The agreed $410 million sale of the self-service segment streamlines the portfolio, provides liquidity to reduce debt, and refocuses resources on higher-margin core businesses (https://www.wsj.com/articles/pacific-avenue-capital-to-buy-lkqs-self-service-segment-for-410-million-d015f386).
Organic parts and services revenue declined 3.4% in Q2 2025, reflecting continued weakness in end-market demand and falling short of the prior full-year guidance (https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/lkq-q2-2025-slides-revenue-declines-across-segments-outlook-lowered-4150486).
Adjusted diluted EPS fell 11.2% year-over-year to $0.87 in Q2, missing analyst estimates and signaling margin compression across segments (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/lkq-misses-q2-earnings-estimates-slashes-fy25-guidance).
Management lowered full-year 2025 guidance, now forecasting organic revenue declines of 1.5%–3.5% and a reduced adjusted EPS range of $3.00–$3.30, highlighting persistent macro and competitive headwinds (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/07/24/3120924/8053/en/LKQ-Corporation-Announces-Results-for-Second-Quarter-2025.html).
