AutoZone stock reports record fiscal 2026 sales

AutoZone stock (NYSE: AZO) stood at USD 2,853.13 on September 24, 2026, up 0.34 percent in trading on the NYSE. The retailer reported fiscal 2026 sales of USD 20.3 billion, the first time annual revenue exceeded that threshold.

Sales cross USD 20 billion

According to AutoZone, net sales for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2026, increased 7.4 percent to USD 20.3 billion from USD 18.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Net income rose 3.0 percent to USD 2.57 billion, while diluted EPS increased 5.3 percent to USD 152.55 from USD 144.87.

The annual comparison shows a clear split between sales expansion and per-share growth. AutoZone added USD 1.4 billion in annual sales, but EPS growth remained below the 7.4 percent revenue increase as operating expenses and LIFO charges weighed on the result.

Quarterly profit beats estimates

Fourth-quarter net sales reached USD 6.59 billion for the 16-week period ended August 29, 2026, up 5.6 percent from USD 6.2 billion a year earlier. Diluted EPS rose 15.1 percent to USD 56.05 from USD 48.71.

As Investing.com reported on September 22, 2026, quarterly EPS exceeded the USD 54.30 consensus estimate, while sales came in below the USD 6.71 billion forecast. The result therefore combines a 3.2 percent EPS beat with a USD 110 million revenue shortfall.

Stock remains below yearly high

The market snapshot on September 24, 2026, places AutoZone stock between its 52-week low of USD 2,764.88 and high of USD 4,332.68. At USD 2,853.13, the shares were 34.2 percent below the yearly high, leaving the valuation sensitive to continued earnings growth and sales execution.

AutoZone stock had a market capitalization of USD 46.58 billion on September 24, 2026. The combination of USD 20.3 billion in annual sales, USD 152.55 in fiscal-year EPS and a 0.34 percent daily gain gives investors three distinct reference points for assessing the post-earnings reaction.
