Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine option grant; administrative, neutral impact.

AutoZone disclosed a grant of 2,660 non-qualified stock options to its SVP Commercial at an exercise price of $4,075.31 on 10/10/2025. The award vests in equal annual tranches starting 10/15/2026 and expires on 10/10/2030.

This aligns with standard executive compensation and does not change the company’s operating outlook. Any potential dilution depends on future exercises at or above the strike price, which is typical for such plans.
