The fund may have given up given the stock has performed poorly. Advance Auto Parts’ shares lost 1.8% over the last year through Jan. 23. During this time, the S&P 500 index produced a total return of 15.4%.
Advance Auto Parts produced positive same-store sales (comps) in the latest quarter. Third-quarter comps increased 3% in the period that ended on Oct. 4.
It might be premature to celebrate. While management has been trying to execute a turnaround plan, including closing a number of underperforming locations and opening others in different locations, the company faces intense competition from other auto parts retailers.
Investors may want to look for sustained comps growth before committing investment funds to Advance Auto Parts.
