O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (ORLY)

This companys strong market stratagy in achieving a 50/50 retail/wholesale will dominate the market. With the addition of a very large distribution center in the seatle area that will be opening in November and the additional parts inventory currently being added to all of the recently converted csk stores o'reilly automotive will not only outperform the s&p but is on the right track to outperform and dominate all the other aftermarket autopart retailers. They have wisely added additional payrol to their stores to match the added inventory and this is already starting to pay off in even beter customer service.

O'reilly should benefit from the reduction in new car sales causing more car repairs. This near term performance is already built into the stock price. At the end of the day though, O'reilly is a retailer. They are a retailer with an enterprise value to revenue ratio of 1.2. Typical EV/rev ratios for retailers hover around 0.5. Sell.

Strong growing company that is this economy will be a great buy.

Although this stock is doing well now, we'll have to wait and see if the third quarter earnings perform. The seasonal dropoff could hamper the growth potential of the stock. Not to mention the quick expansion of the company at this time.

Good fundamentals, and growth. Key prospect to pick up the slack selling GM/Chrysler parts.

Better service, apparently, than AZO

They are gonna break, so you gotta have parts to fix em, and this chain is expanding! Even more business if one of the weak sisters fails, peppy not as peppy as before. GMSPO & Mopar trying to pull more profit from OEM parts business and dealers feeling the pinch of lower car sales will try to hold BIG margins on Genuine Parts, driving shart customers to aftermarket quality parts. This will help ORLY & AAP.

Should be excellent this year - fewer new car purchases means more used car parts bought.

aquisition of csk autoparts

I have owned this stock since 2000 and have watch it go from 9 a share to over 40 and split and continue to grow.
People always need auto parts and ORLY is more affordable than AZO

they will make millions selling lockable gas caps

Continues to grow. Is a proven leader in discount auto parts. Serves both auto shops and the public and is looking to expand out west. Should perform well in a sluggish economy as people choose to fix their older vehicles instead of buying new.
