Investing.com - RBC Capital has lowered its price target on O’Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:ORLY) to $110.00 from $111.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The auto parts retailer, currently valued at $83.29 billion, trades at a P/E ratio of 35.16, indicating a premium valuation according to InvestingPro data.
The adjustment follows O’Reilly’s third-quarter results, which RBC described as "largely in-line with expectations," noting that higher selling, general and administrative expenses were offset by market share gains. The company maintains strong financial metrics, with InvestingPro data showing a robust revenue growth of 5.15% and notably low price volatility with a beta of 0.6.
RBC’s fourth-quarter estimates remain largely unchanged, projecting comparable sales growth of 4.5% and earnings per share growth of 10% year-over-year to $0.70.
For longer-term projections, RBC has adopted a more conservative approach following management’s comments on elasticity, now modeling comparable sales growth of 4.6% for 2026 (down from 5.0% previously) and 4.0% for 2027 (unchanged).
The firm’s new price target is based on approximately 30 times its 2027 earnings per share estimate of $3.66, reduced from the previous multiple of 33 times.
