# AutoZone: Competitors & Industry Structure



## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies AutoZone under SIC code 5531 (Retail-Auto & Home Supply Stores). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 3 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, AutoZone ranks 1 of 4. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does AutoZone Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **AutoZone (AZO)** | $18.9 billion FY2025 | 2.4% | 19.1% | 13.2% |
| [O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/oreilly-automotive/) | $17.8 billion FY2025 | 6.4% | 19.5% | 14.3% |
| [OneWater Marine Inc. (ONEW)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/onewater-marine-inc/) | $1.9 billion FY2025 | 5.6% | -4.6% | -6.1% |
| [CarParts.com Inc. (PRTS)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/carparts-com-inc/) | $548 million FY2025 | -7.0% | -8.9% | -9.2% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value AutoZone reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001104659-25-102611 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.

Companies sharing AutoZone's SEC classification (SIC code 5531 (Retail-Auto & Home Supply Stores)) include O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY), OneWater Marine Inc. (ONEW), CarParts.com Inc. (PRTS). Its 10-K names the competitors it considers most relevant.

By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code. Classification codes are broad, so read the peer list as a screen, not a verdict.
