Wedgewood Partners David A. Rolfe, Michael X. Quigley, Christopher T. Jersan | “O'Reilly Automotive helped performance this quarter, as earnings per share grew by +13%, driven by a +6% increase in same-store sales (comps), marking the Company's 33rd consecutive year of positive c” | BULL | Q1 2026 Apr 13, 2026 | View Pitch |
Right Tail Capital Jeremy Kokemor | “O'Reilly Automotive has been a Day 1 Right Tail holding and one of its best performers. The letter reviews the fund's conviction-building process and ORLY's durable competitive advantages. Amazon's threat in 2017 created a buying opportunity as O'Reilly's 50/50 split between DIY and DIFM customers, best-in-class distribution, and culture-driven service gave it structural advantages. The fund highlights ORLY's superior reinvestment discipline, returning >30% ROIC and compounding capital through high returns. Even through disruptions like COVID and supply chain crises, O'Reilly executed better than peers, maintained margins, and extended its lead in professional repair markets. BSD Analysis: O'Reilly is one of the most consistent compounders in U.S. retail — pricing power, scale efficiency, and relentless execution drive elite margins. The DIY/ DIFM blend gives it resilience across cycles. EV penetration is a headwind only in theory; in practice, the parts mix adjusts slowly and predictably. Cash generation is monstrous, fueling constant buybacks. The market rarely misprices ORLY, but when it does, the window is brief. This is a defensive secular winner. A top-tier operator doing exactly what great operators do: compound quietly and relentlessly.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Qualivian Investment Partners Aamer Khan and Cyril Malak | “O'Reilly Automotive experienced near-term margin pressure and modest sales growth due to industry-wide demand softness and wage inflation. Nevertheless, the manager maintains the position due to O'Reilly's market leadership and disciplined share repurchases.” | BULL | Q2 2024 Jun 30, 2024 | View Pitch |
