LKQ Corporation stock (ISIN US5018892084) was trading at EUR 20.16 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CEST, up 0.05 percent from the prior close of EUR 20.15. MarketBeat reported on September 18, 2026 that six firms held a consensus Hold rating and an average 12-month price target of USD 31.08.
Consensus target stays above market price
The USD 31.08 consensus target is 36.61 percent above LKQ's USD 22.83 primary-market reference price on September 30, 2026, calculated from the two values in the same currency. That comparison is separate from the euro Lang & Schwarz quote and shows why the analyst view remains materially higher than the latest US-listed price.
The consensus was split between three Buy ratings, one Hold rating and two Sell ratings, according to MarketBeat on September 18, 2026. The mix points to a divided assessment rather than a uniform bullish call.
Second-quarter results set the counterweight
LKQ reported USD 3.41 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, versus a USD 3.48 billion consensus estimate, while revenue declined 3.00 percent year over year. Earnings per share came to USD 0.67, below the USD 0.71 consensus and down from USD 0.87 in the second quarter of 2025, as MarketBeat reported.
LKQ's fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance stands at USD 2.60 to USD 2.90. The gap between the USD 0.67 result and the USD 0.71 estimate, together with the 3.00 percent revenue decline, gives the Hold consensus a measurable operating counterweight.
Stock remains near its yearly low
On NASDAQ, LKQ was last at USD 22.83 on September 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET during after-hours trading. Its market capitalization was USD 5.8 billion on that date, while the 52-week range stood at USD 21.17 to USD 37.13, leaving the primary-market quote USD 1.66 above the yearly low.
LKQ distributes replacement, recycled and remanufactured vehicle parts across North America, Europe and Taiwan. The company also serves specialty vehicle markets, giving the latest results a direct link to both repair demand and broader vehicle aftermarket activity.
