Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $AutoZone (AZO.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
AutoZone's Q4 financial results continue to support the positive outlook on its shares. The basis for this includes the company's ability to maintain mid-single digit growth in operating income, coupled with a similar percentage decrease in its share count, collectively contributing to a double-digit rise in earnings per share.
Even as estimates are adjusted, the underlying fundamentals remain primarily stable, with the belief that the stock's valuation is not excessive for a well-situated company in a defensive sector expected to return to normalized top-line growth in the medium term. The company is seen as a reliable grower with the potential to keep expanding its market share domestically.
The company's fiscal Q4 results did not meet expectations on both revenue and earnings fronts. It's observed that the auto parts retail sector is facing softer demand, which can be attributed to the budget tightening of lower-income consumers, postponement of significant auto maintenance, and a reduction in discretionary do-it-yourself expenditures. Nonetheless, with the anticipation that consensus estimates have been recalibrated following these results, there is a sentiment that the company's business model is well-positioned for a resurgence in earnings growth by fiscal 2026.
AutoZone's fiscal Q4 results have demonstrated the company's commitment to investing for future growth amidst a subdued demand for auto parts. The analyst highlighted the reduction in the forecast for FY25 EPS by 4% to $156.60 but emphasized that the company's consistent share gain, pricing power, and strong capital management constitute a 'winning recipe' for superior returns, especially as the stock is currently trading at approximately a 15% discount to the market.
AutoZone's Q4 operating results had varied outcomes, yet the company is positioned for potential growth in the coming years with a strong real estate pipeline. This development is expected to facilitate an increase in square footage growth on a global scale. Additionally, the expansion of AutoZone's hub and mega hub rollouts is anticipated to contribute positively to the company's long-term growth prospects.

此外，综合报道，$汽车地带 (AZO.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
AutoZone的第四季度财务业绩继续支持其股票的乐观前景。其基础包括公司保持营业收入中等个位数增长的能力，以及股票数量的类似百分比下降，共同促成了每股收益的两位数增长。
尽管调整了预期，但基本面基本面仍基本保持稳定，他们认为，对于防御性板块中位置优越的公司来说，该股的估值并不过高，预计将在中期恢复正常的营收增长。该公司被视为可靠的种植者，有可能继续扩大其国内的市场份额。
该公司第四财季的业绩在收入和收益方面均未达到预期。据观察，汽车零部件零售行业正面临需求疲软，这可以归因于低收入消费者的预算紧缩、大规模汽车维护的推迟以及可自由支配的自己动手支出的减少。尽管如此，预计在这些业绩公布后将重新调整共识预期，因此人们认为该公司的商业模式完全有能力在2026财年之前恢复盈利增长。
AutoZone的第四财季业绩表明，在汽车零部件需求疲软的情况下，该公司致力于为未来增长进行投资。该分析师强调指出，对25财年每股收益的预测下降了4％，至156.60美元，但强调该公司持续的股票收益、定价能力和强大的资本管理是获得丰厚回报的 “制胜秘诀”，尤其是在该股目前的交易价格比市场折扣约15％的情况下。
AutoZone第四季度的经营业绩各不相同，但凭借强大的房地产渠道，该公司有望在未来几年实现潜在增长。预计这一发展将促进全球范围内平方英尺增长的增加。此外，预计AutoZone枢纽的扩张和大型枢纽的推出将为公司的长期增长前景做出积极贡献。
