Advance Auto Parts' quarterly adjusted loss was smaller than analysts expected.
Advance Auto Parts (AAP) shares popped nearly 40% Thursday morning after the company maintained its full-year outlook despite the impact of tariffs.
The retailer posted a first-quarter adjusted loss of 22 cents per share, far smaller than the Visible Alpha consensus expectation of an adjusted loss of 78 cents per share. Net sales of $2.58 billion fell 7% year-over-year but the result also was better than analysts' estimates.
Advance Auto Parts affirmed its full-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS) outlook of $1.50 to $2.50 on net sales from continuing operations of $8.4 billion to $8.6 billion, both higher than what analysts projected. The "guidance assumes current tariffs remain in place for the remainder of 2025," the company said.
CEO Shane O'Kelly attributed the reiterated outlook to the retailer's "performance to date, expected progress on our strategic initiatives for the balance of the year and our planned mitigation actions for the tariffs currently in effect." Advance Auto Parts imports some parts from Canada, China, and Mexico.
Despite today's 38% surge soon after the opening bell, shares of Advance Auto Parts have fallen about 8% in 2025.
