What the Analysts think about AutoZone

Analyst projections of the future price of AutoZone stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The commercial business remains a strong growth engine. Fourth-quarter domestic commercial sales rose 8.6% and average sales per programme per week increased to $17.7 from $16.7, helping AutoZone gain exposure to professional repair demand. (Market Newsdesk)
AutoZone is still expanding its physical and delivery network quickly. It opened 374 stores during fiscal 2026, including 16 Mega Hubs in the latest quarter, ending with 8,031 locations across the US, Mexico and Brazil. (Market Newsdesk)
Buybacks continue to support per-share returns. AutoZone repurchased $697.5 million of stock in the latest quarter, bought back $2.0 billion during the fiscal year and finished with $1.6 billion of authorised capacity remaining. (Market Newsdesk)
Underlying sales momentum weakened sharply in the latest quarter: domestic same-store sales rose only 1.6%, while reported revenue missed consensus. That leaves the shares dependent on a recovery rather than clear near-term demand strength. (MarketBeat)
Profit growth is lagging sales growth. Fiscal-year sales increased 7.4%, but gross margin fell to 52.3% from 52.6%, operating expenses rose as a percentage of sales, and operating profit grew only 3.1%. (Market Newsdesk)
Inventory grew 10.1% year on year, faster than full-year sales, as AutoZone invested in growth initiatives. If demand stays soft, the larger stock base could increase working-capital and markdown risk. (MarketScreener)
