AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) shares rallied in early trading on Wednesday, after the company on Tuesday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45631709/semtech-stock-slides-on-q1-earnings-key-details-from-the-quarter">its fiscal third-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Raymond James On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001183545/bobby-j-griffin">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001183545/bobby-j-griffin">Bobby Griffin</a> reiterated a Strong Buy rating, while raising the price target from $4,000 to $4,200.
AutoZone reported its fiscal third-quarter earnings short of consensus, Griffin said in a note. He added, however, that the company's "sales momentum is accelerating and strategic investments are beginning to inflect."
Management guided to a cautious margin outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, the analyst stated. "Commercial (DIFM) continues to accelerate via share gains, DIY is showing early signs of recovery, and the mega hub expansion remains on track to drive broader network productivity," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Truist Securities On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59493ca670ed7a0001097213/scot-ciccarelli">Analyst Scot Ciccarelli</a> maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $3,995 to $4,038.
AutoZone posted strong results for the quarter, with the best comp and Commercial sales growth in around two years, Ciccarelli said. The company's Domestic comp of 5.0% surpassed the consensus of 2.6%, he added.
The Commercial segment's sales returned to double-digit growth, while total sales came in at $4.46 billion, beating Truist Securities&#8217; estimates of $4.42 billion, the analyst stated. AutoZone gross margins contracted by 87 basis points (bps) year-on-year to 52.7%, impacted by "higher shrink (not expected to continue in the fourth quarter), the ramping of new DCs and stores (drag on the margin), FX pressures ($27mm EBIT impact), and faster (lower margin) Commercial growth," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Guggenheim Securities On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e48c6351b9b00018beef0/steven-forbes">Analyst Steven Forbes</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $3,850 to $4,100.
AutoZone reported mixed operating results for the fiscal third quarter, Forbes said. While net sales grew by 5.4%, adjusted gross margin contracted by 55 bps year-over-year, he added.
"Although certain margin headwinds resulted in a modest EBIT(DA) shortfall relative to our expectations, we expect many of these pressures to cycle out as early as 4Q 2025 — providing improved visibility behind the path back to mid-single digit EBIT growth," the analyst further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">DA Davidson On AutoZone</h1>
<a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/michael-baker">Analyst </a><a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/michael-baker">Michael Baker</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $4,192.
AutoZone's Domestic comps of 5% came in well above the consensus of 2.4% and represented a meaningful acceleration from the previous quarter's +1.9%, Baker said. Total comps also improved to 3.2%, coming in at 5.4% in constant currencies, better than in the last quarter, he added.
While the company's International comps, up 8.1% in constant currencies, represent a deceleration, they remain strong, the analysts stated. "While overall results were mixed, with much better sales offset by margin weakness, we think the share gains and benefits of long-term investments, while temporarily hurting profits, should win the day for the stock," he further wrote.
AZO Price Action: Shares of AutoZone had risen by 2.71% to $3,786.17 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Insights From Analysts:
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, explained in his note that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45637914/jurrien-timmer-says-cyclical-bull-market-likely-over-in-feb-2025-expects-rangebound-scenario-modest-bear-market-is-now-underway">market was rangebound</a> and lower and upper boundaries for the market have been set. 
He highlighted that stocks were down 20% and they have recovered since, "That suggests that while the lower boundary for this market correction may have been established, so has the upper boundary."
"All this puts me firmly in the trading range camp in terms of what the next 6-12 months will bring. I suspect that this range might be defined by the April low of 4835 as the lower boundary, and the recent highs of 6000 as the upper boundary," he explained.
If Timmer&#8217;s range-bound market forecast holds, the cyclical bull market that began in October 2022 likely concluded in February 2025, after 30 months.
He added that "a new modest bear market is now underway," saying, "Bear markets consist of both a price and time element, and if this one lasts 6-12 months it would meet both conditions."
Meanwhile, Fabio Bassi, JPMorgan&#8217;s head of cross-asset strategy, also told CNBC that the S&amp;P 500 could &#8220;remain rangebound, with limited short-term upside.&#8221; &#8212; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html" title="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/dont-expect-the-market-to-go-anywhere-this-summer-says-jpmorgan.html</a>
&#8220;The rally to our bull case scenario of 5,800 for S&amp;P 500 has played out, but from here we expect a consolidation and range-bound dynamic," Bassi explained.
Meanwhile, Ed Yardeni said in his note that &#8220;The widely feared global sovereign debt crisis has been postponed for another day.&#8221;
The yields on super-long Japanese government bonds (JGBs) fell sharply on Tuesday after Reuters reported that the country&#8217;s finance ministry might issue fewer of these bonds.
He explained that this &#8220;helped to bring down the US 10-year Treasury yield from 4.51% on Friday to 4.46% (On Tuesday).&#8221;

Dow Surges Over 700 Points Following EU Tariff Delay: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Wall Street charged higher Tuesday, with U.S. equities posting broad-based gains by midday as investors embraced a risk-on mood, spurred by easing Treasury yields and renewed optimism surrounding trade talks between the U.S. and the European Union.
The bond market drove a major sentiment shift. U.S. 30-year Treasury yields sank 10 basis points to 4.93%, falling below the psychologically key 5% threshold for the first time in days. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1.5%, eyeing the strongest daily gain since late February 2025. 
This move follows a surprise development in Japan, where the Ministry of Finance announced a reduction in the issuance of longer-dated government bonds. That decision triggered an 18-basis-point drop in Japan's 30-year yield, creating a ripple effect that eased pressure across global fixed-income markets.
The sharp decline in yields helped equities rally across the board. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.9%, extending May&#8217;s gains to more than 6%. The benchmark is now tracking its strongest monthly performance since November 2023.
Technology and small-cap stocks outpaced broader benchmarks, adding momentum to the rally. Every sector in the S&amp;P 500 traded higher on the day. 
Among the mega-caps, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stood out with a 6.4% gain, reclaiming price levels last seen in mid-February. 
As equity and bond sentiment improved, traditional safe-haven assets lost appeal. Gold prices fell 1%, slipping below $3,300 per ounce. The move reflects investors rotating out of defensive plays amid increasing appetite for risk.
In energy markets, crude oil dropped 1.5% to $60.50 a barrel, while copper prices slid 2.1%, signaling some caution in industrial demand despite the bullish tone in equities.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded near $110,000, remaining close to its all-time highs.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) shares are trading slightly lower in the premarket session on Tuesday after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45613912/autozone-3rd-quarter-total-company-same-store-sales-increase-5-4-domestic-same-store-sales-increas" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported third-quarter results</a>.
The company reported earnings per share of $35.36, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $37.17. Quarterly sales of $4.46 billion (+5.4% year over year) outpaced the street view of $4.35 billion.
The company reported a 3.2% growth in same-store sales on strength in the domestic segment.

For the quarter, gross profit was $2.35 billion, higher than $2.26 billion a year ago.&nbsp;
The gross margin in the quarter under review was 52.7%, a decrease of 77 basis points vs. the prior year.
The decrease in gross margin was negatively impacted by higher inventory shrink, higher commercial mix, new distribution center startup costs, and a 21-basis point ($8 million&nbsp;net) non-cash LIFO impact.
In the third quarter, operating expenses rose to 33.3% of sales, up from 32.2% last year. This increase, or deleverage, was mainly due to higher self-insurance costs. Additional spending to support growth initiatives also contributed to the rise.
Operating profit decreased 3.8% to&nbsp;$866.2 million.
&#8220;Our international business also continued to deliver strong results, as same-store sales grew 8.1% on a constant currency basis,&#8221; said&nbsp;President and Chief Executive Officer Phil Daniele.
&#8220;While currency rate moves continued to pressure reported sales and earnings, we believe our international operations are positioned well as we continue to focus on opening more stores in these markets,&#8221; Daniele added.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are excited about our momentum heading into the last quarter of the fiscal year, and we are well prepared for our summer selling season,&#8221; the CEO stated.
During the quarter ended May 10, AutoZone added 84 net new stores. This included 54 in the U.S., 25 in Mexico, and 5 in Brazil. The company now operates 7,516 stores across all three countries.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalent worth $268.625 million.
Price Action: AZO shares are trading lower by 1.06% to $3,785.80 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Insights From Analysts:
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya signaled a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45610672/market-is-risk-off-chamath-palihapitiya-flags-rising-investor-fear-as-money-market-fund-assets-hit-724-trillion"> significant shift in market sentiment</a>, highlighting a new trend. 
On Monday, he posted on X, declaring the &#8220;market is risk-off,&#8221; citing a Barchart post that revealed money market fund assets surged to a new all-time high of $7.24 trillion.
This preference for money market funds, or cash equivalents, typically intensifies during periods of heightened market and economic turmoil.
The recent spike underscores growing investor caution amid persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and evolving interest rate expectations, indicating a major swing in investor confidence over the past couple of weeks.
Chamath, in his post, implied that the investors were fleeing riskier assets such as stocks in favor of safer, yield-generating instruments.

While some view this as investor anxiety, others, like The Market Ear, see these funds as &#8220;dry powder,&#8221; which means the cash reserves poised to re-enter the market once a clear positive signal emerges.

Ed Yardeni hinted that the week ahead would be crucial for bond investors as the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; reaches the Senate for discussions.
&#8220;And in the aftermath of Moody&#8217;s downgrading the US to &#8220;Aaa&#8221; on May 16, financial markets will pay close attention to events on Capitol Hill. Namely, how the deficit-bloating &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; that the House passed last week lands with Senate Republicans, as well as the Bond Vigilantes,&#8221; he said.
