LKQ stock closed at USD 23.43 on NasdaqGS on September 23, 2026, down 0.68 percent, while the company reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 3.41 billion. The result was 3.0 percent below the prior-year quarter and below the USD 3.48 billion consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat.
Revenue misses by USD 70 million
The Q2 2026 revenue comparison puts the shortfall at USD 70 million against consensus. The year-over-year decline adds a second pressure point because the reported USD 3.41 billion also represents a 3.0 percent contraction from the same quarter last year, as Yahoo Finance reported on September 16, 2026.
Earnings per share showed the same pattern. LKQ reported USD 0.67 per share for Q2 2026 against the USD 0.71 consensus, a USD 0.04 shortfall, according to MarketBeat. That comparison matters more than the revenue miss for near-term sentiment because it directly measures profitability against expectations.
Guidance sets the next checkpoint
LKQ set fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance at USD 2.60 to USD 2.90, while the average analyst expectation cited by MarketBeat is USD 2.67. The range places execution and demand trends ahead of the next reporting update as the key test for the stock.
The company operates across North America, Europe and Taiwan and distributes replacement and specialty parts for vehicle repair and accessorizing, according to its investor-relations profile. Its Q2 revenue decline therefore gives investors a direct read on demand across a broad vehicle-repair distribution network.
