Investors looking to get into Autozone (NYSE: AZO) on a deep pullback may have a long time to wait. This must-have buy-and-hold company’s FQ2 2025 earnings results underscore its quality and potential, leading analysts to raise their price targets and lead the market higher. This is a critical factor because the upgrade cycle is long in the tooth but still provides sufficient momentum with the coverage rising, the sentiment firming, and the price target rising.
Autozone’s positive analyst trends continued after the Q2 release, with 16 of 24 analysts tracked by MarketBeat issuing revisions. The fresh revisions include a single downgrade to Hold from Buy, offset by a reiterated Buy with an above-consensus price target and 14 price target increases. The range of new targets lifts the low-end, consensus, and high-end range, forecasting a 2% increase in the share price at the mid-point.
