Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed view with notable achievements such as strong domestic and international sales growth, record store openings, and market share gains. However, these were tempered by financial challenges including a decrease in EPS, significant currency headwinds, and increased SG&A expenses due to investments. The balance of positive sales momentum with financial pressures and strategic investments results in a neutral sentiment.
Company Guidance
During the 2025 Q4 earnings call, AutoZone reported several key metrics, highlighting their strong performance and future outlook. Domestic commercial sales saw an impressive increase of 11.5% on a 16-week basis, while domestic retail comp sales rose by 2.2%. International sales also performed well, with a constant currency comp increase of 7.2%. Total sales grew by 0.6%, and on a 16-week adjusted basis, they increased by 6.9%. However, earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 5.6% due to an extra week in the prior year; adjusting for this, EPS grew by 1.3%. Excluding the impact of an $80 million LIFO charge, EPS would have been up 8.7%. The company experienced a positive 5.1% same-store sales growth on a constant currency basis, with domestic DIY sales up 2.2% and commercial sales up 12.5% year-over-year. Inflation on a like-for-like SKU basis was roughly 2.7% for the commercial sector, contributing to a 3.7% average ticket growth.
