Under the bonnet of a quiet retail juggernaut with torque to spare There’s something oddly poetic about $AutoZone(AZO)$. While the broader retail sector frets over footfall and inflation, this parts powerhouse just keeps revving. I’ve followed the company for a while now, and if there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear, it’s this: AutoZone isn’t just recession-resistant—it seems recession-fuelled. In times of economic cheer, we splash out on shiny new motors. But when the economy sulks, as it does now and then, we nurse our ageing rides back to health—and AutoZone is the pharmacy of choice.

As of April 14, 2025, Amazon (AMZN) stock closed at $182.12, reflecting a 1.49% decline in regular trading and a further 0.37% drop in after-hours trading.
