What are the odds of AutoZone to slide in January?

AutoZone reported the last year's revenue of 12.63 B. Total Income to common stockholders was 1.73 B with profit before taxes, overhead, and interest of 6.77 B. The company has Net Profit Margin of 13.72 %, which may imply that it executes well on its competitive polices and has reasonable control over its expenses and variable costs. This is very large. In the same way, it shows Net Operating Margin of 19.8 %, which entails that for every 100 dollars of revenue, it generated 0.2 of operating income.

How important is AutoZone's Liquidity

AutoZone financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance AutoZone ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. AutoZone financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Please check the breakdown between AutoZone's total debt and its cash.
