Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Advance Auto Parts stock:
- 1. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We are trimming 2H19 EPS -$0.10/-3% ahead of 2Q results on Tuesday, as we incorporate recent labor inflation that has been widespread across retail. After choppy 2Q results are released, the setup for AAP starts to improve. Weather should normalize, and compares begin to ease on a 3 year basis next quarter, with 1Q20 comps more favorable still. Critically company specific comp and margin drivers ought to gain traction on a 12-18 month view, just as a rising 4-12 year old vehicle sweet spot helps provide a comp tailwind for AAP and peers. Tariffs remain a risk for all of retail, yet with 25% tariffs already in place on 90%+ of the auto parts imported from China today, AAP and peers are relatively well positioned on this front. 2Q expectations muted given read across from competitors. 2H19 guidance reduction likely." (8/13/2019)

It is also undertaking several initiatives to strengthen and streamline its supply chain to meet the evolving need of customers.
