AutoZone Unusual Options Activity

AutoZone's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.7% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 232 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.17 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>AutoZone Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AutoZone has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AutoZone's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AutoZone's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Digging Into Industrial, Insurance And Grocery Stocks</h2>
Plenty of Reddit users responded with names most mainstream investors overlook. These weren't meme stocks or hot IPOs, but legacy industrials, auto parts retailers, and HVAC firms.
&#8220;Before the most recent sell-off Berkshire was at 194% in 5 years,&#8221; one investor noted about Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)). &#8220;Sitting at 165% right now. Better than all the Mag 7 except Nvidia and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Boring as hell and doing rock solid.&#8221;
Several mentioned Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46255383/1000-invested-in-parker-hannifin-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">specializes in motion and control technologies</a>.

One user summed up the appeal by asking: &#8220;How many people on the planet took a sh&#x2A;t this morning, and/or turned on the heat or AC?&#8221; The message: boring businesses that keep infrastructure running are everywhere, and often profitable.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another favorite was Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>), which installs HVAC systems. One investor called it &#8220;very well-performing&#8221; and compared it to IES Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>), which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/46009433/100-invested-in-ies-hldgs-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">outperformed the market</a> over the past 10 years by 32.69% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 43.61%.

&#8220;I inherited FIX which had done VERY well,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;But I sold it for very petty and personal reasons lol.&#8221;
Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NASDAQ">CASY</a>), a convenience store chain with more than 2,900 locations, was called out as a quiet outperformer. One Reddit investor wrote: &#8220;It has a better 5-year return than Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and it pays a dividend.&#8221;
Fair Isaac Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>), the company behind FICO credit scores, was another standout. It has soared 352% over the last five years.

Others nodded to Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurer with a 500% return in five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steady Can Still Win</h2>
While the tech crowd continues to ride waves of speculation, some long-term investors are betting on plumbing, autoparts, fertilizer, and insurance. As one investor in the thread put it, &#8220;Unless we have Armageddon tomorrow, yes, absolutely&#8221; these companies are still worth buying.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning AutoZone Stock In The Last 5 Years

AutoZone's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.33% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 220 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.48% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.35 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AutoZone has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AutoZone's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AutoZone's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) shares rallied in early trading on Wednesday, after the company on Tuesday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45631709/semtech-stock-slides-on-q1-earnings-key-details-from-the-quarter">its fiscal third-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Raymond James On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001183545/bobby-j-griffin">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001183545/bobby-j-griffin">Bobby Griffin</a> reiterated a Strong Buy rating, while raising the price target from $4,000 to $4,200.
AutoZone reported its fiscal third-quarter earnings short of consensus, Griffin said in a note. He added, however, that the company's "sales momentum is accelerating and strategic investments are beginning to inflect."
Management guided to a cautious margin outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, the analyst stated. "Commercial (DIFM) continues to accelerate via share gains, DIY is showing early signs of recovery, and the mega hub expansion remains on track to drive broader network productivity," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Truist Securities On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59493ca670ed7a0001097213/scot-ciccarelli">Analyst Scot Ciccarelli</a> maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $3,995 to $4,038.
AutoZone posted strong results for the quarter, with the best comp and Commercial sales growth in around two years, Ciccarelli said. The company's Domestic comp of 5.0% surpassed the consensus of 2.6%, he added.
The Commercial segment's sales returned to double-digit growth, while total sales came in at $4.46 billion, beating Truist Securities&#8217; estimates of $4.42 billion, the analyst stated. AutoZone gross margins contracted by 87 basis points (bps) year-on-year to 52.7%, impacted by "higher shrink (not expected to continue in the fourth quarter), the ramping of new DCs and stores (drag on the margin), FX pressures ($27mm EBIT impact), and faster (lower margin) Commercial growth," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Guggenheim Securities On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e48c6351b9b00018beef0/steven-forbes">Analyst Steven Forbes</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $3,850 to $4,100.
AutoZone reported mixed operating results for the fiscal third quarter, Forbes said. While net sales grew by 5.4%, adjusted gross margin contracted by 55 bps year-over-year, he added.
"Although certain margin headwinds resulted in a modest EBIT(DA) shortfall relative to our expectations, we expect many of these pressures to cycle out as early as 4Q 2025 — providing improved visibility behind the path back to mid-single digit EBIT growth," the analyst further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">DA Davidson On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/michael-baker">Analyst </a><a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/michael-baker">Michael Baker</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $4,192.
AutoZone's Domestic comps of 5% came in well above the consensus of 2.4% and represented a meaningful acceleration from the previous quarter's +1.9%, Baker said. Total comps also improved to 3.2%, coming in at 5.4% in constant currencies, better than in the last quarter, he added.
While the company's International comps, up 8.1% in constant currencies, represent a deceleration, they remain strong, the analysts stated. "While overall results were mixed, with much better sales offset by margin weakness, we think the share gains and benefits of long-term investments, while temporarily hurting profits, should win the day for the stock," he further wrote.
AZO Price Action: Shares of AutoZone had risen by 2.71% to $3,786.17 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
