LKQ Corporation (LKQ) has seen mixed performance in the market, with its stock fluctuating frequently. It experienced some underperformance despite the acquisition of shares by
New South Capital Management Inc and the appointment of
Andrew Clarke to the Board of Directors. The sale of
Elit Polska to
MEKO AB also made considerable news. A patent suit against an LKQ unit is nearing settlement, and Q4, full year 2023 results indicate increased revenue. The company established a Refinish Division as well. Despite facing market challenges, LKQ managed solid organic growth in Q4 2023. The revenue for 2024's second quarter was $3.7 Billion, with new leadership appointments effectuated. However, there is a downside to note with Q1 and Q2 2024 missing EPS estimates resulting in a lower than expected profit forecast. Despite this, the corporation's fundamentals appear robust. LKQ's CEO succession saw
Justin Jude taking up the role as President with Andrew Clarke joining the Board. They managed to reach a collective bargaining agreement in Germany with Verdi. The company's continuously adjusting guidance, especially after the disappointing Q2, signals possible challenges.
