In Q1 2025, LKQ Corporation produced mixed results. The automotive specialist demonstrated resilient performance despite market uncertainties, but reports suggest it failed to meet Q1 sales targets, and organic revenue fell due to slowdowns in the industry. Quarterly revenues reached $3.5 billion, with EPS of $0.65. However, LKQ's stock declined after first-quarter revenues fell short of expectations, and Free Cash Flow (FCF) turned negative.
Despite these challenges, LKQ maintains a balanced outlook. The company implemented strategic measures to combat tariff challenges, predicting an EPS of $3.40-$3.70 for 2025. Potentially buoying LKQ's performance, CEO Jude Justin purchased $100,178 in stock, signaling positive sentiment. Furthermore, Trump’s auto tariff relaxation might increase LKQ's value.
The issue of a cyber attack hitting LKQ is also noteworthy, potentially causing a disruptive effect on LKQ's Canadian business unit. Additions to LKQ's board of directors were confirmed, and a new auto parts facility is in the planning stages in Moses Lake City.
