AAP Stock Forecast & Price Target
AAP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Advance Auto Parts has experienced significant growth driven by both organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions, positioning the company favorably within the auto-parts retail sector. The outlook for comparable sales improvement is positive, particularly through the second half of 2025, as the company focuses on enhancing merchandise and supply chain efficiency. Additionally, the potential for over 100 basis points of gross margin expansion, alongside a strategic goal to enhance in-stock levels, supports the overall expectation for sustained revenue growth and improved operational efficiency.
Bears say
Advance Auto Parts is facing a challenging financial outlook due to weaker-than-expected comparable sales trends and disappointing first-quarter guidance, indicating a projected decline of approximately 2% in comps. The company's net sales are anticipated to be around $2.5 billion, while concerns over weather-related volatility have contributed to a more cautious operating margin forecast, with expectations set approximately 20 basis points below previous guidance. Additionally, the prospect of substantial costs related to store and distribution center closures, estimated at around $200 million, further complicates the company's ability to achieve operational profitability amid these declining sales trends.
