AutoZone’s stock is under pressure as investors question whether its rapid international expansion can deliver enough profit growth to justify the current valuation. The company continues to lean into store openings even as the market focuses more on earnings quality and cash generation.
In the latest quarter, AutoZone opened 64 net new stores, including 43 in the U.S., 18 in Mexico, and 3 in Brazil, taking its global footprint to 7,774 locations. Management says it is winning market share in Mexico and Brazil and still plans to add about 350 to 360 new stores this fiscal year while emphasizing earnings and cash flow discipline.
