Analyst projections of the future price of AutoZone stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
AutoZone is delivering solid operating momentum: third-quarter sales rose 8.4%, total-company same-store sales increased 3.9% on a constant-currency basis, operating profit grew 6.6%, and diluted EPS increased 7.7% to $38.07. (AutoZone Q3 results)
The commercial business remains a key growth engine, with domestic commercial sales up 11.6% year-to-date to $3.8 billion; AutoZone also opened 199 net new stores through the first 36 weeks and expects approximately 355–365 stores for fiscal 2026. (SEC filing)
Capital returns remain substantial and liquidity appears supportive: the board authorized an additional $1.5 billion of share repurchases in June, while management said the company continues to generate strong free cash flow and maintain investment-grade credit ratings. (SEC filing)
Gross-margin pressure remains a risk: year-to-date gross margin fell 130 basis points to 51.9%, primarily due to a 142-basis-point unfavorable LIFO impact, while net income declined $20.1 million and diluted EPS rose only 0.5%. (SEC filing)
International momentum is lagging management’s plan. Third-quarter constant-currency same-store sales increased only 1.6% internationally, and management specifically said Mexico and Brazil were performing below plan. (AutoZone Q3 results)
The capital-intensive, leveraged model leaves AZO sensitive to a demand slowdown: average borrowings were $8.8 billion year-to-date, capital expenditures rose to $997.5 million, and the company warns weaker demand could pressure cash generation, debt covenants, and revolving-credit availability.
