CE’s recent incorporation of 30mm new debit cards sheds a new light on auto parts & accessories names since the new combined panel is even more predictive of company-reported revenue.
Auto Parts Revenue Exposure by Geography
Auto parts & service sales can be materially impacted by weather and other regional factors, and each company’s geographic exposure can determine how drastic the individual impact is. CE transaction data cut by cardholder geography shows that all four of these companies’ operations have the most revenue exposure to the South, with ORLY and AZO depending more on the West than MNRO and AAP.
Automotive Parts and Accessories Subindustry Spend
Consumer Edge’s U.S. sales data has the ability to not only break out regional sales on a symbol-specific basis, but it can also show the broader Automotive Parts/Accessories Subindustry sales, inclusive of private brands, on a regional basis over time. This regional sales data could provide insight into the implications of shifting weather patterns in a given geography.
