Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openAdvance Auto Parts reported third-quarter earnings of $0.79 per share, above the Zacks consensus estimate of $0.77. Earnings were down from $0.92 per share a year earlier.
Advance Auto Parts reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $2.012 billion, down from $2.036 billion a year earlier, while sales at comparable stores fell 1.2%. Sales declined during the first eight weeks but turned positive in the final four weeks, and the company raised its full-year free cash flow outlook, cash left after operating and investment spending, to about $150 million, more than $400 million above the prior year.
Over roughly the last eight quarters, Advance Auto Parts had relatively stable revenue from quarter to quarter, while Dick's Sporting Goods generated higher overall sales, showed clearer seasonal swings and followed a broader upward revenue trend.
Advance Auto Parts' second-quarter revenue declined as the company continued losing market share to stronger competitors. Margins rebounded, but higher interest expenses and weak revenue limited the recovery in profit per share; the article says the stock looks relatively cheap on adjusted earnings, although those figures differ materially from GAAP earnings (profit calculated under standard accounting rules).
The article compares Advance Auto Parts with Five Below, describing AAP as a discounted but cash-burning turnaround candidate and Five Below as a faster-growing retailer with stronger margins. AAP’s early-2026 annual report says it serves professional installers and do-it-yourself customers through 4,305 stores and 809 independently owned Carquest locations, but the excerpt provides little evidence to determine which strategy will pay off in 2026.
