Advance Auto Parts Inc (AAP)

The company now

Advance Auto Parts reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $2.0 billion on 20 August 2026, with comparable store sales down 0.5 percent 1. Comparable store sales measure stores open about a year, so they strip out the effect of openings and closings 1.

Operating income was $101 million, or 5.1 percent of net sales, against $22 million, or 1.1 percent, a year earlier 1. The quarter included $26 million of refunds on tariffs paid earlier under a federal emergency-powers law 1.

Chief executive Shane O'Kelly said the Pro channel, which serves garages and other professional installers, grew at a low single-digit rate 1. He said tighter household budgets curbed do-it-yourself (DIY) spending, especially in the last four weeks of the quarter 1.

The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance for sales, adjusted operating margin and free cash flow of about $100 million 1. Its third-quarter results are due before the market opens on 5 November 2026 4.
