<h3>How Does LKQ P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>LKQ has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>17.29</strong> of the Distributors industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732542306_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>

<p>JP Morgan  analyst Samik Chatterjee   maintains LKQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LKQ#NASDAQ">LKQ</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $54 to $55.</p>


JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on LKQ, Raises Price Target to $55

<p>Global consumer spending growth exhibited some resilience in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40494701/is-the-consumer-ok-what-we-know-from-retailers-about-spending-in-2024">second quarter of 2024</a>.</p>
<p>However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pmi">the latest PMI data</a> shows a deceleration in the rate of expansion in the output of consumer-oriented sectors. For example, the U.S. recorded a decline in manufacturing activity for the fourth consecutive month in July, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40103631/us-manufacturing-activity-decreases-for-fourth-straight-month-hits-8-month-low-co">hitting an eight-month low</a>.</p>
<p>Amid sticky <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">inflation</a> and elevated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates</a>, consumers are turning to the pre-owned and refurbished goods market. Affordability is a factor driving this trend, as second-hand and refurbished items often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also the secular shift in consumer behavior towards choosing sustainable alternatives.</p>
<p>The pre-owned and refurbished goods market has grown steadily in recent years. It surged from a niche segment to a mainstream consumer choice.</p>
<p>The rise of this market aligns with the principles of a circular economy. This model aims to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency by recycling and reusing existing products. Second-hand markets play a crucial role in extending the lifespan of products and reducing the demand for new materials.</p>
<p>Here's a look at how some of the key players performed during the second quarter.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EBay</h2>
<ul>
<li>E-commerce website<strong> eBay Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>)<strong> </strong>reported second-quarter net revenues and non-GAAP earnings of $2.57 billion and $1.18 per share, respectively. That&#8217;s significantly higher than consensus estimates. </li>

<li>To trigger more sales of second-hand apparel, eBay had added new Gen AI features, such as &#8220;Shop the Look&#8221; and &#8220;Explore&#8221;.&nbsp; The company, in partnership with privately-owned Certilogo, has introduced a new &#8220;Click to Resale&#8221; feature, making it easier for sellers to list their second-hand items.</li>
</ul>
