Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$2,635.86

-5.6% from spot

In the Base case, AutoZone achieves Fair value of $2,635.86, representing -5.6% return from $2,792.03 (as of 2026-10-02) with a probability of 60.0%. For this scenario to materialize, comparable store sales must track mid-single-digit expansion, supported by steady domestic retail DIY demand and expanding commercial DIFM market share. Operating profit margins must hold stable as distribution efficiencies offset commercial delivery rollout costs. Capital expenditures must begin tapering from peak logistics transformation levels toward maintenance requirements, allowing annual free cash flow to expand and enabling continued share repurchases. Disconfirmation would occur if commercial route competition forces price cuts or if distribution automation costs remain elevated through FY2028.

Mid-single-digit consolidated revenue growth driven by commercial market share capture and stable retail DIY foot traffic
Operating margins stabilize near historical norms as catalog pricing discipline offsets delivery overhead
Logistics capital expenditures taper from peak transformation levels toward maintenance run-rates
Ongoing share repurchases funded entirely through operating cash flow generation

Bull20%

Price target

$3,971.65

+42.2% from spot

In the Bull case, AutoZone reaches Potential value of $3,971.65, delivering 42.2% return from $2,792.03 (as of 2026-10-02) with a probability of 20.0%. For this outcome to occur, the rapid deployment of regional mega-hubs must drive accelerated commercial customer adoption, closing the route density gap with direct peers while preserving retail DIY gross margin discipline. Furthermore, store expansion across Mexico and Brazil must accelerate, lifting international contributions, while distribution automation completes ahead of schedule to sharply lower capital intensity. Disconfirmation would arise if commercial account growth stalls or foreign currency devaluation erodes international earnings by FY2028.

Accelerated commercial DIFM market share gains driven by high-density mega-hub parts availability
Double-digit international store expansion across Latin America with stable local operating margins
