Advance Auto Parts, Inc. operates as a leading retailer and supplier of a comprehensive array of automotive replacement components, accessories, batteries, and essential maintenance supplies. Its extensive inventory caters to a wide spectrum of vehicles, including domestic and imported passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, and both light and heavy-duty trucks. The company's product offering is broad, encompassing critical mechanical systems such as brakes, engine parts, electrical and ignition components, cooling and heating systems, chassis, clutches, and exhaust systems. Beyond these core parts, it provides a diverse selection of accessories, specialty tools, interior and exterior enhancements, lighting products, performance upgrades, and a variety of chemicals, sealants, and cleaning supplies. Furthermore, Advance Auto Parts stocks all necessary fluids and filters for engine and transmission maintenance, including motor oils, lubricants, fuel additives, and air, fuel, and oil filters. In addition to product sales, the company supports its clientele with various services like battery and wiper installation, diagnostic engine light scanning, electrical system testing, oil and battery recycling, and a convenient loaner tool program. Products are accessible to both professional automotive technicians and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts through its physical store network and online platform. Advance Auto Parts operates stores under well-known banners such as Advance Auto Parts, Autopart International, and Carquest, along with Worldpac-branded branches. As of April 23, 2022, its expansive operational footprint included 4,687 company-owned stores and 311 branches situated across the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada. The company also supplied 1,318 independently owned Carquest-branded stores located in Mexico, Grand Cayman, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the British Virgin Islands. Founded in 1929, Advance Auto Parts, Inc. maintains its corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The price sits at the 5th percentile of 21 published models, 15% below the median target of $52, meaning the market largely rejects the bull case and prices in continued consumer weakness and cash flow strain.
What the disagreement turns on
Whether the recent operating margin improvement and positive free cash flow are the start of a sustainable turnaround or a temporary reprieve driven by tariff refunds and cost cuts, and the available data can only measure unit volume declines, not the pricing or consumer traffic needed to fully settle it.
