MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in O'Reilly Automotive, Inc.:

  • The stock is currently trading at $84.90, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $107.235, suggesting substantial upside potential as the consensus rating remains a Moderate Buy.
  • Recent earnings results for the quarter ended July 29, 2026, showed revenue of $4.89 billion, which exceeded analyst expectations of $4.86 billion, indicating strong top-line growth of 8.1% year-over-year.
  • The company maintains a low beta of 0.54, meaning its stock price tends to be less volatile than the overall market, which can provide a defensive characteristic for investors during periods of market uncertainty.
  • Management has set full-year 2026 earnings per share guidance between $3.20 and $3.30, which aligns closely with the consensus estimate of $3.25, demonstrating confidence in sustained profitability despite recent stock price fluctuations.
  • Institutional interest remains strong, with 85.00% of the stock owned by institutional investors and hedge funds, and recent filings show significant new positions being built, such as CX Institutional increasing its stake by over 1,300% in the third quarter.

O'Reilly Automotive
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $82.59, having declined from a high of $105.36, which reflects a significant drop in valuation and investor sentiment over the past year.
  • Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with multiple senior executives and directors selling shares in August 2026, including SVP Christopher Mancini selling 3,000 shares and Director Maria Sastre selling 2,000 shares.
  • Short interest has increased in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 25.7 million as of September 15, 2026, indicating that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • The company's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 27.04, which is relatively high compared to its growth rate, leading some analysts to question whether the current valuation is justified despite the recent stock price decline.
  • Several analysts have recently downgraded or maintained cautious ratings, such as Weiss Ratings downgrading the stock to a Hold in August 2026 and Sanford C. Bernstein initiating coverage with a Market Perform rating, suggesting limited near-term upside.
