O REILLY AUTOMOTIVE INC Financial Overview 2021–2025

Updated Jul 10, 2026

O'Reilly Automotive's ability to expand its gross profit margin to 51.6%a in FY2025 despite widespread retail inflation underscores a highly resilient business model. Serving both do-it-yourself consumers and professional mechanics, the company leverages an aging vehicle fleet and a dense distribution network to consistently compound capital and drive organic growth.

This pricing power fueled relentless top-line expansion, as revenue grew from $13.33 billion in FY2021 to $17.78 billionb in FY2025. O'Reilly systematically broadened its physical footprint over this period, adding hundreds of locations—including a strategic entry into Canada—to reach 6,585 total stores. The company effectively absorbed a slight rise in selling, general, and administrative expenses, which ticked up to 32.1% of sales, while still delivering a 10% increase in diluted earnings per share to $2.97 for the year.

The market has richly rewarded this operational consistency. At the close of FY2025, the stock traded at $91.21c, commanding a price-to-earnings multiple of 30.7x and a total market capitalization of $76.8 billion. Management continues to funnel its robust cash flows into massive shareholder returns, executing a 15-for-1 stock split and expanding its aggregate share repurchase authorization to an impressive $31.75 billion in Q2 2026.

Recent Developments (Q4 2025 and Q1 2026)

O'Reilly accelerated its top-line momentum in Q1 2026, posting a 10% jump in sales to $4.56 billiond. Comparable store sales surged 8.1%, driven by higher average ticket values. Operating income outpaced revenue growth, rising 14% year-over-year to $842 million, while operating cash flow expanded 37% to $1.03 billion. In March 2026, the company bolstered its balance sheet by issuing $850 million of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2036 to refinance maturing debt.

Bulls point to the company's ability to pass cost increases to consumers, driving a 16% bump in Q1 2026 diluted earnings per share to $0.72e. Bears caution that rising accounts payable and long-term debt liabilities could pressure the balance sheet if organic growth slows. At 31.3x earnings as of May 8, 2026, the stock trades at a premium, pricing in high expectations for the targeted rollout of 225 to 235 net new stores this year.

What to watch: resistance to higher average ticket prices; execution of the 2026 store expansion targets.

Recent SEC Filings

  1. 8-KO REILLY AUTOMOTIVE INC 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 1, 2026)O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) filed a Form 8-K on October 1, 2026 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) and Item 9.01, furnishing a press release that announces the timing of its third quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call. This is a logistical disclosure rather than a financial one: the filing contains no quarterly results, guidance changes, or operational updates. The company will release Q3 2026 results after 3:30 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and host its conference call at 10:00 a.m. Central Time on Thursday, October 29, 2026, via webcast and dial-in. For investors, the practical takeaway is the earnings calendar. Investors should mark October 28 and 29 as the key dates for Q3 performance, including comparable store sales, gross margin, and any updated commentary on demand in the do-it-yourself and professional installer markets. The company also noted it operated 6,695 stores across 48 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada as of June 30, 2026, which provides context for the scale of the network that will be reflected in the upcoming results. The filing is routine and does not signal any material change in the business. Its significance is limited to scheduling. Investors seeking substantive information about the company's performance should wait for the October 28 release and the subsequent call, and should review the full press release and any accompanying materials at that time.
  2. 8-KO REILLY AUTOMOTIVE INC 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Aug 14, 2026)O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (ORLY) has announced a significant debt financing event through an 8-K filing on August 14, 2026. The company successfully issued and sold a total of $1.6 billion in senior notes across three tranches: $700 million in 4.800% Senior Notes due 2029, $500 million in 5.050% Senior Notes due 2031, and $400 million in 5.550% Senior Notes due 2037. This strategic move aims to bolster the company's capital structure and likely support ongoing operations, expansion initiatives, or refinancing existing debt. These new notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are on par with the company's existing unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The indenture governing these notes includes standard covenants that limit the company's ability to incur certain liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and merge or consolidate. The filing also details provisions for redemption, including optional redemption at various call protection periods and mandatory repurchase at 101% of principal in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Investors should note that the notes are effectively junior to any future secured indebtedness.
  3. 8-KO REILLY AUTOMOTIVE INC 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Aug 11, 2026)O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (ORLY) has filed an 8-K report on August 11, 2026, detailing a significant financing event. The company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement to issue and sell a substantial amount of Senior Notes across three different maturities: 2029, 2031, and 2037. This move is designed to raise approximately $1.59 billion in net proceeds after accounting for underwriting discounts and expenses. The primary intended use of these proceeds is to repay outstanding amounts under the company's commercial paper program. Any remaining funds will be allocated to general corporate purposes, which may include supporting working capital, share repurchases, and strategic investments such as acquisitions. This financing structure indicates a strategic effort by O'Reilly to optimize its capital structure and secure funds for ongoing operational needs and future growth initiatives.
  4. 8-KO REILLY AUTOMOTIVE INC 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 29, 2026)O'Reilly Automotive reported record second-quarter 2026 results. Sales rose 8% to $4.89 billion, driven by 6.0% comparable store sales growth, and diluted EPS increased 10% to $0.86. Gross margin (51.4%) and operating margin (20.2%) were flat year over year, so the quarter showed volume-driven growth without margin expansion. Net income grew 7% to $715 million, slightly lagging operating income because interest expense rose about 22% to $70 million as debt increased. For the first half, sales grew 9%, comparable store sales grew 7.0%, and diluted EPS rose 13% to $1.58. Management raised full-year 2026 comparable store sales guidance to 4% to 6% and reaffirmed a net new store target of 225 to 235. Full-year diluted EPS guidance is $3.20 to $3.30, which implies second-half EPS of roughly $1.62 to $1.72 after the $1.58 first-half result. Total revenue guidance is $18.9 billion to $19.2 billion, and free cash flow guidance is $1.8 billion to $2.1 billion. The company continues to return capital aggressively: it repurchased $2.43 billion of stock in the first half and another $632 million after quarter-end, with about $1.33 billion remaining under its authorization. The balance sheet remains highly leveraged by design. Long-term debt rose to $7.01 billion from $5.82 billion a year earlier, and shareholders' deficit widened to $1.84 billion. Adjusted debt to EBITDAR increased to 2.17x from 2.06x. Inventory grew about 11% to $5.97 billion, and accounts payable covered 123.7% of inventory, down from 127.0%. Operating cash flow improved sharply to $2.04 billion year to date from $1.51 billion, supporting the free cash flow outlook.
