O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) continues to be a compelling stock for investors. Shares are up approximately 33% year-to-date in 2025 (as of Sept. 10), and have climbed 10.2% since the company reported second-quarter 2025 financial results on July 23. The momentum shows no signs of slowing.
The market is clearly pleased with O'Reilly's latest financial update. Among all the data points, one key metric stands out.
O'Reilly's Impressive Streak
O'Reilly reported revenue and diluted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth of 6% and 11%, respectively, during the second quarter (ended June 30). These figures represent solid gains, and these headline numbers continue to fuel investor enthusiasm.
However, it's same-store sales (SSS) that warrant particular attention. In Q2, O'Reilly registered SSS growth of 4.1%. This follows a 3.6% gain in the first quarter. While these numbers may not seem extraordinary at first glance, they represent a critical trend.
Zooming out reveals an impressive track record. In 2024, the business posted a 2.9% increase. Critically, this marked the 32nd consecutive year of positive SSS growth for O'Reilly. The company is on track to make 2025 the 33rd consecutive year of reported SSS gains. This streak signals durable consumer demand and effective operational execution.
Consistent SSS growth is more than just a number; it reflects a company's ability to attract and retain customers in a competitive landscape. This type of performance often indicates a strong brand, loyal customer relationships, and an effective overall strategy.
O'Reilly isn't likely to top any lists of the most exciting businesses. But that's perfectly acceptable for shareholders. Over the past decade, the retail stock has generated a total return of 570%. Consistent growth has been the defining factor.
Furthermore, the management team effectively utilizes the company's free cash flow to aggressively repurchase shares. In the past 12 months alone, the outstanding share count has shrunk by 3%, boosting EPS.
While the stock could continue to appreciate in the years ahead, its valuation has become elevated. Shares currently trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 38.2, representing their highest valuation in at least two decades. Understanding the factors driving this valuation will be key for future investors.
