AAP Stock Forecast & Price Target
AAP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Advance Auto Parts has experienced substantial growth over the years, both through organic efforts and strategic acquisitions, positioning itself as a leading auto-parts retailer with an extensive footprint in North America. The company is expected to see improving comparable store sales through 2025, particularly in the second half, as it begins to realize the benefits of its merchandise and supply chain initiatives, alongside achieving gross margin expansion driven by reduced costs. With a goal of enhancing inventory levels and operating efficiencies, Advance is on track to improve its overall financial health and achieve its EBIT margin targets, which indicates a positive outlook for its stock performance.
Bears say
The analysis of Advance Auto Parts reveals a negative outlook due to several key financial indicators. The company is anticipating a 1Q comp decline of approximately 2% and net sales around $2.5 billion, highlighting a trend of weaker-than-expected sales that have been impacted by weather-related volatility. Furthermore, the guidance for 2025 indicates lower comps and operating margins than previously forecasted, with expectations for core margins to remain modestly negative and a significant cost impact from store and distribution center closures.
