Advance Auto Parts Standing Still – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (December 5th, 2008) Writes:
Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (AAP) is a specialty retailer of automotive parts, accessories, and maintenance items. The company caters to the do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-for-me (DIFM) customers. Though it is generating top-line growth by opening new stores, the company currently faces a challenging industry environment.
