A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today LKQ Corporation is in stage 4. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 32 weeks running.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved −37% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 27 March 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

LKQ Corporation paid $1.20 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.30 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $20.94 that is a yield of 5.73%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

LKQ is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

LKQ Corporation earned $136 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −29.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $608 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −13.6% a year on average. That is 4.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $193 M.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $608 M (−12.3% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −3.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.7 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −36.8% and revenue +1.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

LKQ Corporation reported $3.4 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −3.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 1.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $13.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $13.7 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY25 revenue was $13.7 B, −1.2% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +1.3% on average, against 1.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +1.3%, against −1.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −35.2%, against −25.3% a year (rolling over).

LKQ Corporation's operating margin was 7.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.7 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 8.0% and 11.4%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.2 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 158% of LKQ Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $1.1 B of operating cash against $608 M of profit. After $216 M of spending on assets, $847 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

LKQ Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $885 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.2% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $885 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

LKQ Corporation's P/E is 21.1×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
