TL;DR. AutoZone grew third-quarter sales 8.4% to $4.8 billion, with EPS up 7.7% to $38.07 and domestic commercial sales up 10.4%. A softer final two weeks (+1.3% comp) on cool weather, weak international constant-currency comps and a $20 million LIFO charge that cut EBIT and EPS growth were the main drags.

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
