Note: This section contains information in English only.AutoZone reported strong sales growth but lower earnings for its first quarter of fiscal 2026 ended November 22, 2025. Net sales increased 8.2% to $4.6 billion, driven by a 4.7% rise in constant currency same-store sales and a robust 14.5% jump in domestic commercial sales. While the top line expanded, profitability faced headwinds; gross profit margin dropped 203 basis points to 51.0% largely due to non-cash LIFO impacts, and operating expenses rose as the company invested in growth initiatives. Consequently, net income fell 6.0% to $530.8 million, and diluted EPS decreased to $31.04 from $32.52 in the prior year. The company continued its aggressive expansion by opening 53 net new stores globally, bringing its total store count to 7,710, and returned capital to shareholders by repurchasing $431.1 million of its common stock.
