AutoZone has continued its expansion, opening 141 new locations in the most recent quarter and a total of 304 for the fiscal year, while achieving revenues of $18.9 billion for fiscal 2025—a 2.4% increase year-over-year. However, the company missed profit estimates and saw a slight stock decline of 0.9%, compounded by a high total debt-to-capital ratio of 1.81, significantly above industry norms. Despite these challenges, AutoZone expects continued growth in fiscal 2026, supported by strong performance in its DIY and commercial segments, and Bank of America has rated it a strong buy with a price target of $4,800.
