AAP Advance Auto Parts, Inc.

CarMax (KMX) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of +70.59% and +11.54%, respectively, for the quarter ended August 2026. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?

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.

AutoZone's latest quarter split the market in two directions at once, and the ripple through its rivals says something surprising about how traders are reading the aftermarket retail group right now.

Shares of AutoZone were on pace to log their best trading session in more than two years 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. AutoZone reported that total same-store sales increased 1.5% on a constant currency basis in the quarter.

This article explains how that combination affects the sector and highlights 3 stocks that screen positively under this new rate environment.

Advance Auto Parts (AAP) just cut the ribbon on a new store and market hub in Woodbridge, New Jersey, giving investors a fresh data point on its measured expansion in auto parts distribution.
