Fair Value models

Bear $1,546 Fair Value $2,468 Bull $3,807
Price $3,309 · Downside -25.4%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2026 figures (about 2 months old). Earnings retained since then ($28.00 per share) are deliberately not added. Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 78/100
Revenue growth appears healthy and is supported by profitability and cash-flow quality.
Revenue growth 1 year
+7.4%
Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+5.2%
Revenue growth 5 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+6.8%
Start year 2021 (pandemic). Over 10 years: +6.7% a year
Revenue growth 36 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+9.9%
What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate.
+9.9%
Earnings growth per share plus dividend.
Earnings per share, growth per year+9.9%
Dividend (yield on the price)0.0%
Pace: 5 vs 10 years ⓘTwo data points, not a trend model: earnings growth per share over the last 5 fiscal years against the last 10. Labelled "steady" when both rates are within 3 percentage points of each other, otherwise picking up or flattening. Shown only when ten years of history exist.9.9% vs 14.1%, slowing
Profit margin 2021 to 2026 ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.20% → 18%
Pace: the 5-year rate starts in 2021 (pandemic)

Growth Forecast

A lot of optimism in the price
The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far and more than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+16.9%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+6.4%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +14.2% a year for the price and +4.0% for the forecasts.
Forecast 2027 (sales)+7.4%
Forecast 2028 (sales)+7.1%
Projected 2029 (sales)+6.5%

It reflects the tone of coverage, not our valuation. Neutral
Recent news coverage is roughly neutral, about typical for how stocks are covered.
Note from the team Nov 2, 2026
AI conclusion: Moderate moat from distribution scale and brand forms the main strength while high leverage and negative equity stand out as the chief weakness.
Main risk: Generative AI tools might commoditise the diagnostic information and repair guidance that AutoZone store associates provide to DIY customers, reducing the need for in-person expertise and pressuring margins in that channel.
Bull case: AutoZone could integrate AI diagnostics into its stores and commercial offerings while expanding EV-specific parts and services to capture share in the shifting vehicle fleet.
Bear case: If online platforms and AI tools capture significant DIY volume while EV penetration accelerates, AutoZone's store network and associate model could face sustained margin pressure and slower growth.
AutoZone's latest quarter highlighted softening demand from do-it-yourself customers, with domestic same-store sales in that segment declining even as commercial volumes grew. Operating costs rose faster than expected amid expansion efforts, adding pressure alongside an already leveraged balance sheet. Our models currently see the stock as overvalued. Will the commercial channel's momentum offset the DIY weakness, or will higher expenses and cautious consumers weigh more heavily on results going forward?

AutoZone Inc reported trailing-twelve-month revenue of about $20.3B (latest available figure, as of Nov 5, 2026).
What growth is priced into AutoZone Inc (AZO)?
For today's price to be fair in a discounted-cash-flow model, AutoZone Inc would have to grow free cash flow by +16.9 % per year for five years (discount rate 8.1 %, then slowing evenly to 2 % perpetual growth by year ten). Over the last 5 years revenue grew +6.8 % per year. As of Nov 5, 2026.
What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of AZO use?
Our models discount AutoZone Inc at 8.1 %: a base by market capitalisation (large), damped by beta 0.40, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For AutoZone Inc that is +16.9 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (8.1 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has AutoZone Inc (AZO) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at AutoZone Inc grew +6.8 % a year. The price currently implies +16.9 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.
How fast is the sector of AutoZone Inc (AZO) growing?
The median revenue growth in the sector is +4.6 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into AutoZone Inc (+16.9 % per year a year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.
What is the free cash flow yield of AutoZone Inc (AZO)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 3.21 %: that much free cash flow AutoZone Inc produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (8.1 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of AutoZone Inc (AZO)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For AutoZone Inc it is $2,468 per share (as of Nov 5, 2026), against a price of $3,309. It is the blended result of 21 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).
Is AutoZone Inc stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?
As of Nov 5, 2026, AZO trades above its calculated fair value: price $3,309, fair value $2,468, a gap of about −25% (overvalued). The calculation is refreshed with each new quarterly report, so the verdict can change during the year.
Is fair value the same as the market price of AZO?
No. The price is what the market pays today ($3,309); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify ($2,468). For AutoZone Inc the two are $840.85 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.
How much is AutoZone Inc worth?
The market values AutoZone Inc at about $55.8B (market capitalisation, as of Nov 5, 2026). Per share that is $3,309; our models calculate a fair value of $2,468 per share.
What do the bullish and bearish scenarios say about AZO?
Our models span a range for AutoZone Inc: cautious scenario $1,546, base $2,468, optimistic $3,807 per share (as of Nov 5, 2026, price $3,309). The range comes from different growth and margin assumptions, not from analyst opinions.
What is the P/E ratio of AZO?
AutoZone Inc trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 21.7 (as of Nov 5, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $2,468 is built from several models across several years. Median P/E at fiscal year-end, 10 fiscal years (2017 to 2026), reported earnings, FY2018 ex one-offs: 17.7. Other multiples: PEG 1.3, P/S 2.7, EV/EBITDA 14.8.
