What Happened?

On April 23, 2024, LKQ lowered its full-year 2024 financial guidance, citing worsening performance in its North American operations, where the Company’s recently acquired subsidiary FinishMaster, was being integrated, while attributing the decline in part to slowing demand and warmer weather, and announcing the departure of its CEO.

On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $7.28 per share, or 14.9%, to close at $41.65 per share on April 23, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on July 25, 2024, LKQ reported second quarter 2024 financial results that missed its previously reduced expectations and again lowered its full-year 2024 guidance, citing continued weakness in its North American segment.

On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $5.53 per share, or 12.4%, to close at $5.53 per share on July 25, 2024, thereby further injuring investors.

Next, on April 24, 2025, LKQ reported that its Wholesale North America segment, where FinishMaster was fully integrated, missed revenue targets by approximately $200 million and disclosed that, contrary to its prior assurances that FinishMaster would improve margins, the segment missed EBITDA targets and experienced a year-over-year margin decline.

On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $4.87 per share, or 11.6%, to close at $37.26 per share on April 24, 2025, thereby further injuring investors.

Finally, on July 24, 2025, LKQ reported that its segment margin performance continued to deteriorate, attributing the declines to competitors taking market share by undercutting pricing. The Company again missed EBITDA targets by approximately $20 million and disclosed a year-over-year margin decline of 11%, while admitting that the declines were predominantly driven by business losses due to increased competition for FinishMaster.

On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $6.88 per share, or 17.8%, to close at $31.73 per share on July 24, 2025, thereby further injuring investors.
