Description: LKQ LKQ January 06, 2026
LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ:LKQ) is a global distributor of aftermarket automotive parts and specialty vehicle products, operating through four segments-Wholesale-North America, Europe, Specialty, and Self-Service. Its catalog spans body panels, mechanical components, salvage parts, paints, fluids, electrical items, and ancillary products such as RV appliances and marine electronics, serving collision/mechanical repair shops, dealerships, and retail customers across North America and a broad European footprint.
Key data points (FY 2023, per the company’s 10-K): revenue of $13.6 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin of ≈ 9.5 %, and a 5-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of ≈ 4 % in North-American wholesale volumes. The aftermarket is driven by rising vehicle age (average U.S. fleet age ≈ 12 years) and a shift toward cost-effective repairs versus new-car purchases, while the transition to electric vehicles introduces both a head-count risk (fewer moving parts) and a new revenue opportunity in high-margin EV-specific components (e.g., battery-cooling modules). Supply-chain constraints on semiconductors and steel have historically pressured margins, but recent easing of chip shortages is expected to improve inventory turnover.
