ORLY O'Reilly Automotive, Inc.

O'Reilly Automotive has seen its share price move around over the past year, yet the longer term record is still strong. This raises a clear question for you as an investor: Is the current valuation of the stock adequately backed by the cash it can generate over time, or has the price pulled away from its underlying cash flows? Over the past 5 years, O'Reilly Automotive shares have gained 109.0%. That puts a lot of weight on whether the underlying cash generation can keep supporting that...

AutoZone (AZO) expects its domestic same-store sales to be flat or up by low single digits in fiscal 2027. It expects higher spending per purchase to drive that outlook. That matters because its Auto Parts Stores segment brings in almost all of the company's $20.0 billion in yearly sales. AutoZone's do-it-yourself (DIY) shoppers are already making fewer trips. It is not settled whether they return once price increases slow.

Investors who took advantage of O’Reilly Automotive's previous drawdowns to add it to their portfolios and hold on have profited handsomely.

Shares of AutoZone rose on Tuesday after the auto-parts retailer surpassed Wall Street’s quarterly earnings expectations even as sales came in below forecasts. The company posted earnings of $56.05 a share in the fiscal fourth quarter ended Aug. 29, up from $48.71 a year ago and above Wall Street’s expectation for $54.08.

If investors were asked a year ago to guess the most successful consumer stock since the global financial crisis, many would have said Apple. AutoZone which releases results tomorrow, was close behind. The performance of those retailers was driven by smart financial stewardship and the resilience of their business models.

Moby summary of O'Reilly Automotive, Inc.'s Q2 2026 earnings call

The Royal Mint private wealth consultant Stuart O'Reilly tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that gold's core drivers remain firmly in place even after its pullback from record highs, citing geopolitical tensions, shifting global alliances, and sustained central bank buying since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Central banks, he says, increasingly treat gold as a political hedge in uncertain times. O'Reilly broke down gold's role as a portfolio diversifier: "It's a good diversifier that doesn't drag too much on a portfolio when times are good in the stock market, but can help shield some of the shocks in a bear market." He also flagged a shift in who's buying: more younger investors and women turning to physical gold, alongside industry moves toward recycled gold and stronger provenance standards. O'Reilly closed by outlining gold's three core portfolio roles: diversification, liquidity and long-term returns; and the vaulting options available to investors holding physical bullion.
