In a report released today, Zachary Fadem from Wells Fargo maintained a Buy rating on O’Reilly Auto (ORLY), with a price target of $435. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $383.24.
Fadem observed:
“We note AZO has operated stores in Mexico since 1998, opening roughly 30-40 stores per year (~575 stores today), which in our view, adds validity to ORLY’s ability to successfully compete in the market ahead. Going forward, key questions include: 1) the size of Orma’s business, as 4 DC’s per store and 55 employees per store would imply considerable non-store volumes; 2) Orma’s DIY vs. DIFM mix; 3) Guadalajara region, where its stores are principally located; 4) Private label mix, if any, and product/vendor overlap with Supply chain integration opportunities under ORLY leadership.”
According to TipRanks.com, Fadem is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.5% and a 69.3% success rate. Fadem covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as National Vision Holdings Inc, Floor & Decor Holdings Inc, and Advance Auto Parts.
