Any idea as to why ORLY's stock price is going down, particularly since IAS gave it such a glowing review?

Does anyone have an opinion on this stock? I just read an article that suggested looking at Net Income/Operating Cash Flow. Low is good. ORLY shows a good number there and they seem to have been steadily increasing there Cash Flow/share over the years. that sounds good to me.

Anyone else?

I like ORLY - it's slightly out of my BUY zone - but it's definitely on my Watch List. If the price drops down to $31, I might be a buyer....

Laura,

What is your buy zone?  ORLY is at a 4.9 to 1 on my SSG with my buy zone peaking at $37.  I have a 15% sales and EPS return rate.  We've held ORLY since 2006.

I took a quick look.  Take Stock says that ORLY isn't a quality company.  It looks like the biggest issue is the growth rate.

Has anyone been keeping up with ORLY? I reviewed the latest earnings report and 10Q and the Co is definitely slowing. With the price of gas, and the slowing economy, many car owners, especially the DIY croud, are putting off repairs. I updated my SSG after looking at the latest report...

SALES

SSG-10yr 17%, 5yr 14.3%, 3yr 11%, 1yr 8.3% Sales growth is definitely slowing

Take Stock future growth 10.4%

VL Rev/Sh 9.5%

VL Rev Calc 11.3%

Implied 12%

Desired 9.3% (Based on company size)

Co. Guidance: The Co does offer guidance for future sales: sales of $2,700M to $2,800M (7.7% to 13%).  However, they also did give guidance of 3% 5% for comparable store sales. They also predicted opening 140 to 150 new stores this year. Average sales for the 1st year from a new store is $0.9M. They also had sales of $16.2M to independent “jobbers” but would not give any guidance concerning growth or lack of growth from these sales. Using all these numbers (Comp of 3%-5% starting at $2555M, new stores adding $126M to $135M and keeping the independent jobbers that same as last year) I came up with sales growth of 8.64% (comp of 3% and 140 new stores) to 10.98% (5% comps and 150 new stores) For my SSG I used 9.8% sales growth which is in the middle of these figures.

 

EPS

Sales growth has been greater than earnings growth for the past 6 quarters.

Preferred procedure: earnings growth of 9.5%; EPS in 5 years=$2.61 (VL=$3.10)

Preferred procedure with VL future figures shows growth of 14% EPS=$3.20

Take Stock: Graph 7.2% growth EPS=$2.36

                    Business Model 9.64% EPS=$2.63

Guidance for this year: $1.81 (8.38% growth) to $1.85 (11.45% growth)                                                                

$1.82 (9.5% growth from preferred procedure) See PPT

 

ACE 11.5% to 14%

Cash Flow price=$50.05 a 76.9% increase/cmpd ret 12.3%

 

PMG graph shows a buy from price and PE charts

 

Take Stock rank=3.2

 

This is a stock that was highly regarded in the past but has since fallen.The biggest problem for the Co. is a slowing of sales and earnings growth. Although the current PE is below the future average PE, I think it best to view the stock as a "value trap" and avoid buying shares for now. Any other thoughts?
