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，綜合報道，$汽車地帶 (AZO.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
AutoZone的第四季度財務業績繼續支持其股票的樂觀前景。其基礎包括公司保持營業收入中等個位數增長的能力，以及股票數量的類似百分比下降，共同促成了每股收益的兩位數增長。
儘管調整了預期，但基本面基本面仍基本保持穩定，他們認爲，對於防禦性板塊中位置優越的公司來說，該股的估值並不過高，預計將在中期恢復正常的營收增長。該公司被視爲可靠的種植者，有可能繼續擴大其國內的市場份額。
該公司第四財季的業績在收入和收益方面均未達到預期。據觀察，汽車零部件零售行業正面臨需求疲軟，這可以歸因於低收入消費者的預算緊縮、大規模汽車維護的推遲以及可自由支配的自己動手支出的減少。儘管如此，預計在這些業績公佈後將重新調整共識預期，因此人們認爲該公司的商業模式完全有能力在2026財年之前恢復盈利增長。
AutoZone的第四財季業績表明，在汽車零部件需求疲軟的情況下，該公司致力於爲未來增長進行投資。該分析師強調指出，對25財年每股收益的預測下降了4％，至156.60美元，但強調該公司持續的股票收益、定價能力和強大的資本管理是獲得豐厚回報的 「制勝秘訣」，尤其是在該股目前的交易價格比市場折扣約15％的情況下。
AutoZone第四季度的經營業績各不相同，但憑藉強大的房地產渠道，該公司有望在未來幾年實現潛在增長。預計這一發展將促進全球範圍內平方英尺增長的增加。此外，預計AutoZone樞紐的擴張和大型樞紐的推出將爲公司的長期增長前景做出積極貢獻。
