- The standard valuation models break on O'Reilly because years of buybacks have pushed book equity negative, so book-value methods do not apply. That is a feature of the capital strategy, not a sign of distress: interest coverage is about 14.8x and free cash flow is roughly $1.9 billion. - On the methods that still work, the stock is rich. Relative Valuation lands at $64 and EV/EBITDA Relative at $51 against an $86.85 (as of June 27, 2026) split-adjusted price, so the price is paying a premium
