O'Reilly Automotive (ISIN US67103H1077) was trading at EUR 75.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 3:37 p.m. CEST, up 0.66 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 75.25. The latest ownership filing adds a sharper institutional signal: MarketBeat reported on October 7, 2026 that Congress Asset Management cut its O'Reilly Automotive position by 81.50 percent in the third quarter, selling 1,198,825 shares and retaining 271,323 shares.

Three dates shape the setup

On July 29, 2026, O'Reilly reported second-quarter revenue of USD 4.89 billion, up 8.10 percent year over year, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 0.86 against consensus of USD 0.86, according to MarketBeat. On September 18, 2026, the company said at its analyst day that it planned to open more stores in 2026 than in any previous year and that Mexico had more than 100 stores with potential for more than 1,000, as MarketBeat reported. On October 7, 2026, Congress Asset Management's filing showed the 81.50 percent reduction in its position.

What does the latest sale change?

The filing is a portfolio decision, not evidence of a change in O'Reilly's operating results. That distinction matters because the second-quarter revenue increase and the USD 0.86 earnings-per-share result remained intact, while the company continues to serve professional repair shops and do-it-yourself customers.

O'Reilly's investor-relations page identifies the company as Nasdaq-listed and says it operated 6,695 stores across the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada as of June 30, 2026. The operating footprint gives the store-expansion plan a measurable base, while the institutional sale creates a counterweight to the growth narrative.

Next date for earnings

Yahoo Finance lists October 28, 2026 as the next earnings date, making third-quarter execution the next scheduled operating checkpoint.

Stock context in US dollars

The primary-market quote was USD 85.06 on Nasdaq at 9:46 a.m. EDT on October 8, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 82.59 to USD 104.06 and market capitalization of USD 70.5 billion. The separate euro quotation at Lang & Schwarz therefore remains the relevant reference for investors tracking the German trading session.
