While the ssg looks good, the slow down in sales in earnings are a major red flag. I will keep ORLY on my watch list, but will wait for another quarter or two (at least) before buying it.

Hey Bob,

I agree with your conclusion on ORLY. Although the PE RV is less than 100, it's sales and earnings are slowing, and most likely will continue to slow for awhile. I spoke with the IR person in May and he also feels that sales will be slow for the near future.

I posted an SSG on this forum in May. I predicted sales and earnings growth at around 9.5%. (That may be too high for the next few quarters.)  The SSG was a buy, but I would not recommend  it.  The stock is a classic "value trap" right now.
