Rhea AI LKQ FY2025 2026-04-30

LKQ’s small gross-margin slippage is creating outsized profit compression because overhead has stayed stubborn as sales flatten.

Across the last three fiscal years, gross margin slipped from 40.3% to 38.6%. Operating margin fell much faster, from 10.0% to 7.3%, which means a relatively small squeeze in product economics is cascading through a cost structure that is not shrinking with the same speed.

Cash generation is holding up better than reported earnings: operating cash flow was $1.06B against $608M of net income in the latest year. With capex at only $216M, free cash flow resilience suggests this is not a plant-hungry model; cash swings are more likely to come from working capital, especially inventory, than from heavy reinvestment.

The balance sheet is built around acquired intangibles and stocked parts, with goodwill at $5.4B and inventory at $3.4B, so a large share of assets is tied to acquired businesses and product availability rather than ready liquidity. Leverage improved from 1.5x to 1.3x, but returns kept weakening, so recent balance-sheet repair has not yet restored earlier profit productivity.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
