O'Reilly Automotive poised to double in five years after 20% dip from all-time high

O'Reilly Automotive, a leading aftermarket automotive parts retailer, has climbed 106% over the past five years but currently trades 20% below its peak from September 2025. The stock has experienced similar drawdowns five times in the past decade, each presenting buying opportunities for investors. The company reported same-store sales growth of 4.7% in 2025, marking its 33rd consecutive year of growth. This streak continued through the first two quarters of 2026. O'Reilly operated 6,695 stores as of 30 June and plans to open 225 to 235 net new locations this year. The company benefits from durable demand, as customers require car parts regardless of economic conditions. Management sees continued expansion opportunities in the fragmented automotive aftermarket retail sector.

UPS class action leads new wave of employee wage lawsuits.

UPS class action leads new wave of employee wage lawsuits. By top class actions | september 16, 2026. Employee wage lawsuits overview: * Who: O'Reilly Auto, UPS, United Airlines and Dunkin' Donuts are facing wage lawsuits filed by five current and former employees. * Why: The plaintiffs allege the companies failed to pay overtime and, in some cases, denied meal and rest breaks or required unpaid off-the-clock work. * Where: The wage lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts in Washington, Connecticut and Virginia. * How to get help: If you live in California and were not properly paid for all hours worked, you may qualify to seek unpaid wages or back pay through a wage and hour lawsuit investigation. A new round of wage lawsuits filed within about six weeks of each other accuses O'Reilly Auto, UPS, United Airlines and Dunkin' Donuts of shortchanging workers on pay they say they were owed. The UPS class action lawsuit, filed by two former hourly workers in Connecticut federal court, is the broadest of the four, covering hourly employees statewide and going back as far as six years. The workers claim in the UPS class action that they underwent unpaid security screening before and after every shift. Workers had to wait in a security line, then walk to a separate time clock, a routine that allegedly took 15 to 30 minutes per shift, unpaid. An O'Reilly Auto retail employee, on behalf of a proposed class covering the past three years, is suing the company for off-the-clock tasks like security sweeps and cash counts. The complaint also alleges the company failed to ensure staff could take required rest and meal breaks and argues the violations were a "low standard for willfulness" under Washington's wage statutes. Both lawsuits argue their employers established practices of failing to pay employees for time they were required to spend on the job and seek back pay and damages for their proposed classes. United Airlines, Dunkin' Donuts face wage lawsuits over skipped breaks, pay cuts. In Washington state court, a former United Airlines line technician, who alleges the airline failed to provide compliant meal and rest breaks and shorted overtime pay through time-rounding, seeks to represent a proposed statewide class of current and former employees. Citing a state ruling, the proposed class action lawsuit says "30 minutes of wages is an appropriate measure of damages for such a deprivation" - pay it says the technician was denied for each skipped or shortened break. Meanwhile, in Virginia, a former Dunkin' Donuts store manager claims a franchise operator misclassified managers as exempt from overtime despite scheduling them for 50 to 60 hours a week, combining a federal Fair Labor Standards Act collective action with a Virginia state class action. All four class action lawsuits allege the employers failed to track or compensate employees for time they actually worked, including time spent in screening lines, working through breaks or being misclassified. The lawsuits seek back pay and damages for the proposed classes. Have you experienced similar wage and hour issues at your job? Let us know in the comments. The plaintiffs are represented by Erin M.

Greenberg of Zipin, Amster & Greenberg LLC; and Jamie K. Serb of Crosner Legal P.C. The UPS class action lawsuit is Case No. 3:26-cv-01394, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut; the O'Reilly Auto class action lawsuit is Case No. 26-2-10333-5, in the Superior Court of Washington for Pierce County; the United Airlines proposed class action lawsuit is Case No. 26-2-24069-8 KNT, in the Superior Court of Washington for King County; and the Dunkin' Donuts FLSA collective action is Case No. 3:26-cv-00896, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Introducing next generation diesel exhaust fluid - Ultra Premium DEF.

Introducing next generation diesel exhaust fluid - Ultra Premium DEF. September 1, 2026 Hot Shot's Secret(TM), the fastest-growing performance chemical brand in the USA, introduces Ultra Premium DEF(TM), a next-generation diesel exhaust fluid with patent-pending additive technology that stabilizes the fluid, helps clean the SCR system, and protects it from crystal buildup. The first rollout of Ultra Premium DEF will begin soon at O'Reilly Auto Parts stores nationwide. SCR-related fault codes can cause downtime, lost revenue, and costly repairs. When used as directed, Ultra Premium DEF improves reliability, provides long-term Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) protection, and can clear many DEF/SCR OBD trouble codes, including P20EE, P20EF, P204F, P207F, P20E8, and P218F. "Innovation has always been at the heart of Hot Shot's Secret, and we had no interest in bringing another commodity DEF to market," says Hot Shot's Secret Brand Manager Josh Steinmetz. "Our team saw an opportunity to do something better. By incorporating our patent-pending Premium DEFender(TM) technology directly into the fluid, we created a product designed to help protect the SCR system while supporting long-term performance and reliability." As an API (American Petroleum Institute) certified DEF, Ultra Premium DEF is recommended for any diesel vehicle or equipment with an SCR system, including pickups, cars, vans, semi-trucks, agricultural and construction equipment, and industrial applications. Made with high-grade synthetic urea and triple-filtered for purity, it exceeds industry standards for DEF fluid. Lubrication Specialties President Brett Tennar adds, "While most know Hot Shot's Secret for fuel and oil additives, we actually develop a broad range of products - oils, specialty products, greases, and maintenance solutions. This expertise gives us a unique understanding of diesel systems and why we've earned the reputation as 'The Diesel Experts.' This launch reflects the hard work and dedication of teams across our company, and we are very excited for our partnership with O'Reilly Auto Parts to bring this innovation to diesel owners nationwide."
