AutoZone Q4 sales rise 5.6% but miss targets; EPS beats, stock jumps 6% amid price target cut

AutoZone reported mixed Q4 results with sales up 5.6% to $6.6 billion, missing expectations, but earnings per share rose 15.1% to $56.05, surpassing forecasts. Despite the sales shortfall, the stock rose 6% as the profit beat boosted investor confidence. Guggenheim analyst Steven Forbes lowered the price target to $3,750 from $4,000, implying a 29.55% upside from the current price of $2,894.73. For the full year, AutoZone posted record sales of $20.3 billion and expanded with 374 new stores, gaining market share by focusing on customer service and inventory improvements.

AutoZone (AZO) trades at USD 2,783.92 on Pluang, down 3.83% as of Sep 23, 2026 21:13 WIB, despite the article noting a 6% stock rise after its Q4 earnings beat. The platform shows a strong sell sentiment with 93% of order activity leaning sell versus only 7% buy. This contrasts with Guggenheim's lowered price target of USD 3,750, which still implies significant upside from current prices.
