Summary · why it matters

O'Reilly Automotive has reportedly made a roughly $10 billion bid for the automotive parts business of Genuine Parts Company, which includes the well-known NAPA Auto Parts brand, though neither company has confirmed a deal. The reported offer, if completed, would meaningfully expand O'Reilly's reach with professional repair shops. O'Reilly's revenue grew 8.5% to $18.6 billion over the past year while earnings grew 10.3%, and the company generated $2.8 billion from operations last fiscal year, leaving $1.6 billion in free cash after spending on stores and equipment. The stock trades at about 27 times its past year's earnings, versus roughly 18.5 times for its peer group, and has fallen around 20% over the past year even as earnings per share rose. Analysts' average price target implies about 26% upside from current levels, and 69 hedge funds held the stock at the end of the second quarter, up from 67 the prior quarter, while short interest stands at just 3.30% of shares available for trading.
