Question · Q1 2026
Beculio asked about AutoZone's expectations for early calendar 2026 (Q2), considering the combined impact of a hot summer, cold winter, and potential tax refund tailwinds.
Answer
President and CEO Philip Daniele III explained that Q2 is typically the most volatile quarter due to weather events. He expressed a desire for cold weather followed by precipitation to strain undercar parts and batteries, which historically boosts sales into spring and summer. CFO Jamere Jackson added that Q2 can be highly volatile, and tax refunds can cause shifts between Q2 and Q3 sales.
