N/AMethodology
O'Reilly's automotive aftermarket business generates relatively stable earnings from maintenance and repair demand regardless of economic conditions. Aging vehicle fleets and DIY plus professional installer mix provide visibility. The defensive business model makes earnings projections reliable compared to new car sales-dependent businesses.
N/A
N/AMethodology
O'Reilly consistently commands premium PEG ratios reflecting defensive characteristics, consistent execution, and steady market share gains in auto parts. While expensive versus traditional retail, the recession-resistant model and operational excellence justify valuations. Compare to AutoZone and O'Reilly's historical range rather than general retailers.
Methodology
O'Reilly pays no regular dividend, instead returning cash through aggressive share buybacks enabled by strong cash generation. Without dividends, PEGY equals PEG. For O'Reilly, buyback consistency and comparable-store sales growth matter more than traditional income metrics given the capital allocation philosophy.
