Zacks‘ analyst wrote, “O’Reilly Automotive saw a 20% increase in earnings per share to $1.32 in the third quarter of 2012, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.05. However, revenues of $1.60 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.62 billion. The company also upgraded its 2012 earnings per share guidance to $4.64 to $4.68 from the previous guidance of $4.56 to $4.66, but lowered its revenue guidance to $6.15 billion-$6.20 billion from $6.15 billion $6.25 billion for the year. O’Reilly continues to benefit from its dual market strategy and strong distribution network. However, the company’s store locations are highly concentrated, which makes it vulnerable to several economic and natural problems in those areas. Furthermore, its cash is locked in huge inventories. Thus, we maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock and set a target price of $89.00.”
