O'Reilly Automotive's recent 15-for-1 stock split garnered significant attention, but a deeper look reveals its true performance for investors over time. While recent gains may seem modest, the long-term trajectory offers a more compelling narrative for shareholders. Analyzing returns across different holding periods sheds light on the stock's market-beating potential.
Investors holding O'Reilly shares for the past year have experienced a solid 19.2% gain, outpacing the S&P 500's 12.9% increase. However, the picture becomes less clear over a three-year period. Since late 2022, O'Reilly's stock has appreciated by 75.5%, a modest 6.7 percentage points ahead of the S&P 500. This period saw the stock fluctuate, sometimes underperforming, sometimes outperforming the broader market.
The true strength of O'Reilly's stock performance emerges over longer durations. Investors with five-year-plus holdings have witnessed substantial outperformance, with returns of 229% compared to the S&P 500's 86%. This trend continues, with a 10-year investment delivering an impressive 473% return, significantly exceeding the S&P 500's 229% gain.
