01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 1, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) filed a Form 8-K on April 1, 2026, furnishing a press release under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) that announces the timing of its first quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call.
The company will release Q1 2026 results after 3:30 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, and host its conference call the following day, Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time via webcast and dial-in.
The filing itself contains no financial results, guidance, or operational metrics. Its substance is procedural: it gives investors and analysts the schedule needed to prepare for the earnings event. The release notes that the company operated 6,585 stores across 48 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada as of December 31, 2025, a figure that provides context on the footprint but is not new information.
For investors, the key takeaway is the timing. The Q1 2026 report and the management commentary that follows will be the first substantive updates on performance, margins, comparable-store sales, and outlook for the year. The filing carries no signal of its own on those items, so the April 29-30 window is the event to watch.
