$ORLY — AVOID 📊 | 6 MONTHS THESIS
🎯 Q1 2026 | Rev $4.6B | EPS $0.72 vs $0.69 🟢 | Margin 18.4%
💡 Consensus saw a steady compounder; the beat was small and already discounted. The market may be underappreciating the risk of multiple compression if consumer spending slows. My variant view: ORLY is a high-quality business, but the current multiple embeds too much optimism relative to tepid sector momentum and the quant's 0th percentile ranking.
