LKQ Corporation: Undervalued Parts Powerhouse Poised For Long-Term Recovery
LKQ controls a large portion of the US salvage and aftermarket collision parts market. They benefit greatly from a network across North America and Europe. Their scale, material recycling, CAPA‑certified quality, and “Promise of Protection” warranties create cost advantages that should serve as sustainable moats. I also believe that LKQ is well-positioned to continue strengthening its repair‑shop, insurer, and customer relationships with new partnerships and leaner initiatives.
LKQ Corporation: No Tangible Catalyst To Drive A Turnaround
I maintain my hold rating on LKQ, due to weak 2Q25 results, guidance cuts, and lack of near-term catalysts for turnaround. North America outperformed a shrinking market and Specialty segment stabilized, but these positives are outweighed by worsening trends in Europe. Europe faces structural and operational challenges, with management overhaul indicating a multi-quarter recovery and continued margin pressure.
LKQ Posts 1.9 Percent Revenue Drop in Q2
LKQ (LKQ -17.82%), a leading distributor of alternative and specialty automotive parts, released its earnings results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 on July 24, 2025. The headline news was a decline in both adjusted earnings per share and revenue, with earnings missing analyst estimates.
