Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Analysis | Feedback

O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) stock has lost about 10% since 11/30/2025 because of the following key factors:

1. O'Reilly Automotive provided lower-than-expected earnings per share (EPS) guidance for fiscal year 2026. The company projected EPS between $3.10 and $3.20, which was below the analyst consensus of $3.32, representing a miss of approximately 5% at the midpoint.

2. The company's fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share narrowly missed analyst expectations. O'Reilly Automotive reported an adjusted EPS of $0.71 for Q4 2025, falling slightly short of the analyst consensus estimate of $0.72.
