Top 3 Consumer Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Quarter

When companies announce their quarterly earnings results, they can often get sucked into the market&#39;s price action for that day, especially if other news or economic data come in to trump the importance of the quarterly release for that stock. That is the case today with shares of AutoZone Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/azo#NYSE">AZO</a>), as the company reported its latest quarterly results on a day when U.S. consumer confidence readings fell the most in three years.
This is bearish for the broader S&amp;P 500, despite whatever positive news or developments might have helped AutoZone stock&#39;s potential upside and valuation. However, investors today can take a second look inside the company&#39;s quarterly release to realize this could be a safer stock during the new business cycle than most had thought.
The trend becomes especially clear when AutoZone is compared to competitors like Advance Auto Parts Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aap#NYSE">AAP</a>) and O&#39;Reilly Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/orly#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>). Before investors dig deeper into the factors making AutoZone stock a potentially better pick against peers, they need to understand what is happening industry-wide to help meet the demand for vehicle parts and maintenance in the coming months.
<h2>Unpacking the Trends: What&#39;s Really Happening in the Car Industry and Among Consumers?</h2>
As inflation took a significant amount of buying power out of consumers&#39; hands, credit card balances rose, bringing delinquency rates along with them. The thing is, late payments didn&#39;t stop at the credit card level; car notes were next.
According to a study, car repossessions have increased in the past 12 months by up to 23%. Considering this negative trend, investors can assume that the new car market is suffering as much (if not more). If the market is going to be focused on the used vehicle market instead, it makes sense that parts and maintenance demand may be on the rise.
The market understands this trend is going to happen, which is why they have bid up the price of AutoZone stock to 92% of its 52-week high, along with O&#39;Reilly&#39;s 96% level. This environment, however, seems to favor the large-cap automotive stocks, as Advance Auto Parts stock is down to 46% of its 52-week high, being the smallest of the group.
It could be due to the ability to scale and manage inventory more easily, making it easier to adjust for demand, but the fact remains that O&#39;Reilly and AutoZone could benefit the most from this new trend. The question now becomes which of the two makes for a better pick in the coming quarters.
<h2>Markets Favor AutoZone Following Its Strong Recent Quarter</h2>
AutoZone management realizes that the trend favoring its business could be just getting started.&nbsp;That&#39;s why investors will notice in the&nbsp;quarterly press release that up to a million shares were bought back from the open marketplace.
Stock buybacks typically mean management believes the stock is cheap enough to buy and that the coming months might carry more upside than potential risks in the instrument. But that wasn&#39;t the only hint management gave markets about the future of AutoZone&#39;s business.
Over the past 12 months, AutoZone opened as many as 117 new stores across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. This compares to the net 96 new stores opened during the same period last year, a sign of increasing demand expectations in the coming months.
Management isn&#39;t the only one with high expectations from AutoZone, though. Even bearish traders decided to stay away from the company, as the stock&#39;s short interest declined by as much as 6.5% over the past month to show bearish capitulation.
On the other hand, short interest for O&#39;Reilly rose during the month by an aggressive&nbsp;19.5%. This makes it clear that AutoZone has the better sentiment from both management and traders. Wall Street analysts would also agree that AutoZone stock is the potential winner.
A consensus price target of $1,144 a share would only call for a 1.7% upside in O&#39;Reilly stock. Analysts at Evercore now see a valuation of up to $3,350 for AutoZone stock, calling for a much more attractive upside of 11% from where the stock trades today.
More than that, up to $8.5 billion of institutional capital made its way into AutoZone stock, with Marshfield Associates leading the way with a 0.2% boost in holdings as of August 2024. This may not seem like much on a percentage basis, but it did bring their net investment up to $500.3 million today, or nearly 1% ownership in the company.

Why AutoZone Stock Could Be Your Next Top Performer

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>) shares are trading lower by 5.3% to $39.20 during Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of auto supplier stocks may be under pressure following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41089577/whats-going-on-with-stellantis-stock-monday">weak guidance</a> from Stellantis, which could be causing concern for the sector.
What Happened: Shares of Advance Auto Parts fell sharply Monday, following the announcement from Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) that the global automaker revised its fiscal 2024 guidance.
The Stellantis report, which sent shockwaves across the auto sector, also led to declines in other major automakers like General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), with market concerns growing over weakened auto sales, supply chain constraints, and profitability.

Stellantis, the parent company of brands like Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep, cut its adjusted operating margin expectations to a range of 5.5%-7.0%, down from its prior double-digit growth targets. The company also projected negative industrial free cash flow for fiscal 2024, between -€5 billion to -€10 billion, a stark contrast to previous expectations of positive cash flow. 
These financial adjustments are attributed to substantial shipment declines in North America, increased incentives on aging vehicle inventories, and overall deterioration in global market conditions, which many analysts believe could signal broader challenges for the automotive and aftermarket parts industries.
What Else: Advance Auto Parts, a leading provider of aftermarket automotive parts, is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the broader automotive sector. While the company primarily caters to the DIY market and professional repair shops, any slowdown in new car sales and production impacts the demand for aftermarket parts. 
Stellantis' announcement of declining shipments — now expected to reduce by over 200,000 vehicles in the second half of 2024 — suggests fewer cars on the road and in need of parts over the near term. 
Additionally, the increased incentives to push older model-year vehicles could mean reduced profitability for automakers, which often translates into leaner inventory and less need for replenishment in parts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AAP A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAP">Advance Auto Parts</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Advance Auto Parts does pay a dividend, which yields 1.64% per year as of the closing price on Sep. 30, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 8.89%, you'll need to buy a share of Allspring Inc Opps by the Oct. 15, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.05 on Nov. 1, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAP">Advance Auto Parts</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.

Advance Auto Parts Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (16 Ratings)

Mizuho analyst David Bellinger maintains Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $64 to $45.

Mizuho Maintains Neutral on Advance Auto Parts, Lowers Price Target to $45

JP Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated the Neutral rating on Advance Auto Parts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowering the price forecast to $43 from $55.</a>
Yesterday, the company faced a scorching sell-off, as a disappointing second-quarter earnings miss, a slashed FY24 outlook, and the announcement of its $1.5 billion&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">Worldpac sale shook investor confidence.</a>
Comparable sales accelerated in the quarter but have weakened quarter-to-date as weather-related boosts wane and low-income consumers remain under pressure, Horvers writes.
The analyst considers the Worldpac sale, the new management team&#8217;s initial medium-term margin target for the core business, and early turnaround efforts—such as completed management changes, the beginning of a supply chain strategy, and wage investments—as key milestones for future progress.

Despite progress, the core business&#8217; profitability remains under pressure and may take several years to fully improve, with store productivity being the major opportunity for boosting mid-single-digit operating margins, Horvers adds.
The analyst notes that since the CEO change last year, revitalizing a business amid a downturn has been challenging, as the industry declined further in the quarter despite easier comparisons.
The analyst&#8217;s Neutral rating is mainly due to auto parts retailers offering the best strategy in the current environment.
However, the company is losing market share, adjusting pricing to regain it, and forecasting an operating margin below 4% for 2024, compared to its previous long-term target of 11-13%.
Price Action: AAP shares are trading lower by 4.62% to $48.74 at last check Friday.
