Strangely, despite strong margins, good earnings and a low P/E, I look for this chain to under-perform for a while. The reason? As more and more people convert to more fuel efficient vehicles, they will have to purchase NEW since there are so few gas misers available used. Consequently, I expect less need for parts as the nation's auto fleet becomes less aged during this transition.

Not much growth of earnings in the past two years despite the increased revenue, yet its PE is slightly above the S&P500 average right now. Combine that with small margins and the fact that the cie is not debt-free, it is difficult to see this business outperforming unless management can increase its effectiveness.
