Our note on each quarter Carparts.com files

10-Q filed October 30: Carparts.com

Model value −3.3%

Carparts.com reported revenue of $517m for the twelve months to October 2026, down 7.7% on a year earlier. That decline has eased from the 10.7% drop recorded a quarter earlier, though it still leaves the company last, 18th of 18, for growth among the automotive retail firms we cover. Profitability has improved on other measures. Free-cash-flow margin climbed to -1.3% from -6.0% a year earlier, while operating margin widened to -4.1% from -9.5%. These shifts lift the fundamentals grade from E to D. Even so, our model value has slipped, falling from $5.74 to $5.55 a share. That sits well below the current share price of $8.40, implying the stock trades at a notable premium to our estimate of fair value.

Not rated: only 1 valuation models apply; a rating needs 3.

Valuation models

We value Carparts.com, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.78 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Price-to-earnings vs peers Earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) price-to-earnings. — Does not apply: no positive earnings in the latest twelve months
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: the model gives no positive value
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. — Does not apply: return on equity is not positive
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. — Does not apply: revenue and margins don't support a positive value
Price-to-sales vs peers Sales per share times peers' typical price-to-sales; used only when earnings are negative. ~$5.4 ~$9.9–$27 Included, half weight
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (price-to-earnings vs peers) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$5.4 ~$5.4–$27 1 model

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Carparts.com, Inc. with Automotive Retail in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -7.3% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 12 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 33.3%, moving by 2.5 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -1.3%; its worst year was -9.5%.

  • Cash conversion 3 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 10 years, at a median -1.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 10 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 121.6% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.7% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (34 before it).

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
