The Q2 shortfall sets the tone
LKQ reported USD 3.41 billion in Q2 2026 revenue, down 3.0 percent from the comparable period, according to MarketBeat. Adjusted EPS was USD 0.67 against a USD 0.71 consensus estimate, a shortfall of USD 0.04, while fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stood at USD 2.60-USD 2.90.

Analyst targets remain divided
MarketBeat's September 18, 2026 overview put the consensus rating at Hold and the average 12-month price target at USD 31.08. That target is 35.13 percent above the September 24 price of USD 23.00, but the range of views reflects the earnings reset.
JPMorgan Chase lowered its LKQ target from USD 37.00 to USD 30.00 while keeping an Overweight rating in a report dated July 31, 2026, according to MarketBeat. Barclays later reduced its target from USD 30.00 to USD 25.00 and assigned Equal Weight on August 3, 2026.
The trading range stays wide
LKQ's September 24 market capitalization was USD 5.819 billion, with volume of 2,321,211 shares. The 52-week range of USD 21.17 to USD 37.13 places the latest price USD 1.83 above the low and USD 14.13 below the high.
LKQ describes its business as a provider of alternative aftermarket, specialty salvage and recycled auto parts and services across North America, Europe and Taiwan, with more than 1,400 locations and more than 44,000 team members, according to LKQ Corporation. The combination of lower revenue and reduced analyst targets keeps execution and the fiscal 2026 EPS range central to the stock narrative.
