The Zacks Consensus Estimate for O’Reilly’s fourth-quarter earnings per share has been revised upward by six cents in the past seven days. Moreover, it compares favorably with the year-ago quarter’s $4.25 per share, indicating year-on-year growth of 20.5%.

With the auto sector steadily recovering from the pandemic-induced disruptions, rising vehicle sales are likely to have spurred demand for parts, components and systems. This, in turn, is anticipated to have fueled O’Reilly’s top line during the fourth quarter.
Moreover, the company is estimated to have gained from store openings and distribution centers in profitable regions during the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the number of stores at the end of the fourth quarter is pegged at 5,615, indicating a rise from the 5,460 and 5,613 recorded in the year-ago period and the prior quarter, respectively.
O’Reilly’s rising e-commerce initiatives like curbside pick-up for Buy Online and Pick Up In-Store orders are likely to have boosted sales during the October-December quarter. Also, the company’s wide-ranging product portfolio is likely to have stoked comparable store sales growth in the December-end quarter.
