Over the past five years, AutoZone, Inc. has experienced steady revenue growth, with revenues increasing from approximately 14.63 billion USD in 2021 to 18.94 billion USD in 2025. The year-over-year growth rate was higher in the early years—around an 11% increase from 2021 to 2022 and a roughly 7% growth from 2022 to 2023—before slowing to about 6% in 2024 and further tapering to 2.4% in 2025. Gross profit trends mirror the revenue pattern, growing from approximately 7.72 billion USD in 2021 to roughly 9.97 billion USD in 2025, indicating that the company has maintained its profitability on a gross basis over the period. Operating income saw steady improvements from around 2.94 billion USD in 2021 to a peak of approximately 3.79 billion USD in 2024, before declining to 3.61 billion USD in 2025. Net income followed a similar trajectory, increasing from about 2.17 billion USD in 2021 to a high of 2.66 billion USD in 2024 and then declining to 2.50 billion USD in 2025. These shifts in operating and net income between 2024 and 2025, although not exceeding a 20% swing, suggest a modest compression in profitability margins, potentially reflecting rising operational expenses or competitive pressures. Overall, the company’s performance in a traditionally stable automotive aftermarket industry appears robust with solid top-line expansion and stable gross margins. However, the recent dip in operating and net income in 2025 signals caution and may warrant further investigation into cost management and market conditions to ensure continued financial sustainability.
