Zachary Fadem has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to both fundamentals and market reaction. He views the FQ2 sales shortfall as largely weather-driven, noting that underlying demand, inflation trends, and quarter-to-date performance have already improved, while margins and EPS met or exceeded expectations.
Fadem also highlights ongoing growth drivers such as strong DIFM momentum, solid tax refund support, and a robust expansion plan including new stores and megahubs, which underpin his FY27 EPS outlook with potential upside. Against this backdrop, he sees the roughly 5% pullback in the share price as an overreaction, creating an attractive entry point relative to the company’s long-term earnings power and sustained competitive position.
Fadem covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as AutoZone, Home Depot, and Brinker International. According to TipRanks, Fadem has an average return of 6.1% and a 58.72% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released today, Roth MKM also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $4,650.00 price target.
