Lock-in-now is deterministic (0%). Plans that wait depend on future prices; risk is near-zero when inventory comfortably exceeds the goal. Volatility: each stack's option-implied vol if a ticker is set, otherwise 30%. Lognormal model; real markets have fatter tails.

The O'Reilly family opened a single store in Springfield, Missouri in 1957, and the company grew into one of the largest auto parts retailers by serving both do-it-yourself customers and professional repair shops from the same stores. That dual model requires dense distribution: regional hubs stocking slow-moving parts that stores can receive same day, which is the operational moat. Demand rises when vehicle fleets age and consumers repair rather than replace, giving results a countercyclical tilt. Headquarters remain in Springfield.

O'Reilly Automotive equity questions

How much ORLY stock do I sell to fund a goal without overpaying tax?
It depends on your cost basis, your target amount and date, and how the sale spreads across tax years. Selling vested ORLY shares triggers long-term capital-gains tax, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax and state tax above certain income, and bunching a large sale into one year can push the gain into a higher bracket. The calculator above builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots to net your target amount by your date.
Does O'Reilly Automotive grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at O'Reilly Automotive typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do O'Reilly Automotive RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
