O'Reilly Automotive opened 2026 with its strongest comparable store sales performance in several quarters, posting an 8.1% comp in Q1 against a backdrop of cautious consumer sentiment and an uncertain macroeconomic environment. That figure materially exceeded internal expectations and, combined with new store contributions and international growth, drove total revenue growth of 10.2%. Operating profit rose 14% and diluted EPS climbed 16%, reflecting both the operating leverage inherent in the model and the ongoing share repurchase program, the company bought back 10 million shares at an average of $92.45 during the quarter for a total outlay of $923 million.
