LKQ Corporation stock (ISIN US5018892084) closed at USD 22.80 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, while the company set October 29, 2026, for its third-quarter results. The date gives investors the next concrete checkpoint after second-quarter revenue fell 3.0 percent year over year to USD 3.41 billion.

October 29 is the next checkpoint

According to GlobeNewswire on October 5, 2026, LKQ will publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 29 and hold its conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET. The date is the freshest company event for the stock.

The upcoming report will be judged against the second quarter's USD 3.41 billion revenue and USD 0.53 diluted GAAP EPS reported for the period ended June 30, 2026. Operating profit was USD 225 million, giving the quarter a 7.0 percent operating margin.

Q2 missed the market forecast

MarketBeat reported that LKQ delivered USD 0.67 in quarterly EPS against a USD 0.71 consensus estimate on July 30, 2026, while revenue reached USD 3.41 billion against USD 3.48 billion expected. The revenue shortfall was USD 70 million, and EPS was USD 0.04 below consensus.

The comparison with the prior-year quarter is also negative on earnings: LKQ posted USD 0.87 EPS in the same period a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. The October report therefore has to address both demand and execution after the latest quarterly miss.

Consensus target remains above Nasdaq price

MarketBeat listed a Hold consensus and an average price target of USD 31.08 from six analysts, with recent targets between USD 25.00 and USD 35.00. That average target lies 36.3 percent above the USD 22.80 Nasdaq closing price on October 2, 2026.

Yahoo Finance showed a separate average target of USD 32.50 and a 52-week range of USD 21.17 to USD 37.13 on its October 5, 2026, quote page. The stock's October 2 close was 38.6 percent below that 52-week high, leaving the October 29 report as the next test for the recovery case.

LKQ stock stays near yearly low

LKQ stock closed at USD 22.80 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026. Its market capitalization was USD 5.8 billion, and the session volume was 2,285,933 shares.
