Advance Auto Parts Earnings: Turnaround Is in Progress, but Continued Market Share Losses Concerning
We expect to lower our $54 fair value estimate by around a mid-single-digit percentage after digesting no-moat Advance Auto Parts’ fourth-quarter earnings, primarily due to a slight reduction in our midcycle operating margin, which currently sits at 4.3%. The reduction mainly stems from our expectation for muted operating expense leverage as we think Advance’s top-line growth will continue to trail that of the broader auto parts retailing industry.
