LKQ Corporation: North America Improved, But Europe Is Still A Drag

LKQ Corporation remains a hold as North America shows organic growth, but European operations are hampered by ERP disruptions and lost wallet share. Q2 revenue declined 6% year-over-year to $3.4B, with consolidated EBITDA margin down 160 bps to 10.2% and adj. EPS falling to $0.67. North America achieved its first positive organic growth in nine quarters, driven by increased alternative parts adoption and stable aftermarket demand.
