What these concentrations mean together

updated 2026-07-03

AutoZone's disclosed concentration exposures are comparatively modest in scale. One class of similar products accounted for approximately 14% of total revenues, a structural exposure tied to product mix rather than any single counterparty. On the supply side, one individual vendor provided 13% of total purchases, a dependency-type exposure that sits at the low end of the disclosed size bands. Neither exposure rises above roughly one-seventh of the relevant base, and both are disclosed as low in scale. The product-line concentration is structural — a function of what AutoZone sells rather than reliance on an external party — while the vendor concentration is a dependency that could, in principle, create supply disruption if that vendor were lost, though its modest share limits how much it could move the overall picture. Together, these two disclosures suggest a relatively diversified customer, product, and supplier base by the standards of the source claims, with no single exposure large enough on its own to dominate an assessment of AutoZone's concentration risk.

Concentration counts reflect items disclosed in each peer’s most recent 10-K; disclosed-size classification uses TrendMatrix’s internal 10-K extraction taxonomy.

Concentration disclosures are extracted verbatim from SEC 10-K filings; the disclosed-size classification and the synthesis above are engine-derived. Size reflects how large each exposure is against fixed share thresholds (HIGH >50%, MEDIUM 25–50%, LOW <25% or an explicit diversification statement), not a judgment of how dangerous it is, and is not a buy/sell rating, a price target, or a view on the stock. Not a complete list of risk factors — see the full filing.
