Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted strong sales growth and store expansion, particularly in the international market. However, the company faced challenges with a decrease in earnings per share, increased operating expenses, and a decline in DIY traffic. Despite these challenges, the company's strategic investments in growth initiatives and positive foreign exchange impacts provide a balanced outlook.
Company Guidance
During AutoZone, Inc.'s 2026 Q1 earnings call, the company reported a total sales growth of 8.2% and a decrease in earnings per share (EPS) by 4.6%, impacted by a noncash $98 million LIFO charge. Excluding this charge, EPS would have increased by 8.9%. The company achieved a 4.7% increase in total same-store sales on a constant currency basis, with domestic and international same-store sales growing by 4.8% and 3.7%, respectively. AutoZone opened 53 new stores globally this quarter, marking near-record growth for a first quarter. The domestic commercial sales segment saw a robust 14.5% growth, while DIY same-store sales grew by 1.5%. Inflation contributed to a 4.8% increase in average DIY ticket prices, and a 6.1% rise in the commercial segment's average ticket. The company plans to invest $1.6 billion in CapEx for fiscal 2026, focusing on expanding its store base, particularly in international markets, and enhancing its supply chain infrastructure.
