AutoZone stock rebounds 2.3% after eight-day skid as Mizuho flags higher costs
NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 20:02 EST — Market closed AutoZone Inc shares closed up about 2.3% at $3,318.08 on Wednesday, after trading between $3,246 and $3,351. The rise snapped an eight-session losing streak and came on heavier-than-usual volume, market data showed. AutoZone outperformed O’Reilly Automotive, while Advance Auto Parts and CarParts.com fell; the stock is still about 24% below its 52-week high of $4,388.11 set on Sept. 11. MarketWatch The bounce matters because analysts have been pushing back on the idea that AutoZone can keep delivering steady double-digit earnings growth while it steps up spending.
