TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As a auto parts distributor, AZO is benefitting from strong demand in the used car segment. They added 32 new locations internationally, which helped boost revenues over 30% over the quarter. It bought back $900 million in shares, yet cash reserves continue to grow. It trades 18x earnings -- good value in this market. We would buy this with a stop loss at $1200, looking to achieve $1650 -- upside potential of about 17%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $1650.88)
BUY
A lucrative car parts chain. It buys back a lot of shares. A reliable company. They report Tuesday. You can buy before and after those earnings.
TOP PICK
A lot of car sales growth recently is in the used car market. A lot of the used car inventory got sucked up last spring. It is a consistent business. It has a really nice tail wind for the next couple of years. (Analysts’ price target is $1365.94)
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 31/17 Up 15%) They sold out of it a while ago. This company focuses on the do-it-yourself auto repair business, which they think is seeing slowing growth due to the complexity of new cars.

TOP PICK

Auto parts retailer. Trading at about 13X earnings. There was a scare about 2 months ago when Amazon (AMZN-Q) decided they wanted to be in this space. Last quarter results were weak due to milder weather and some delay in tax refunds. Trading at 13X earnings with a 6% free cash flow yield. They can provide services Amazon can’t, such as instructional videos, as well as lending tools and disposing of used oil. (Analysts’ price target is $737.50.)

BUY
Looks good. Above both 50 and 200 day moving average. Want to see how this corrects. Want to see some volume. They must be doing something right.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sept 7/07, Shorted, He’s up 3%)
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Sept 21/07. Up 14% on this Short.) Current conditions will make it difficult for people to keep on driving so will have fewer need for auto repairs. It remains an excellent Short.

TOP PICK
Top Short Have about 4,000 auto parts stores and are profitable. In a recession, people may keep their cars longer, which could help them. Revenues are about $6 billion, but they have about $2 billion in debt. Book value is only about $7 with about $5 of it being good will.
TOP PICK
Top Short Retail auto parts. A competitive sector and he thinks the retail sector will be in a lot of trouble. Stock has had a big run over the last 5 years. Look to cover this Short in the $70's.
