Director MRKONIC GEORGE R JR sold 336 AZO shares at $3,202.00 on 2024-12-31 ($1.1M); retains 3.2K shares.
MRKONIC GEORGE R JR, a director at AutoZone, liquidated 336 shares (9.4% of his pre-transaction holdings) on the final trading day of 2024 at $3,202.00 per share, reducing his stake from 3,563 to 3,227 shares. The sale occurred when AZO was trading 13.8% below its 52-week high of $4,354.54 and down 5.0% over the prior 90 days. His prior sell at AZO on 2024-01-09 was followed by a 90-day return of +21.0%, indicating the stock rose after that sale—a poorly-timed outcome relative to the insider's stated selling timing. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +21.0% following his 1 prior sell across all tickers (0.00% well-timed rate), meaning his historical sells have consistently preceded stock appreciation rather than declines. The current transaction occurs amid a mature valuation (P/E 25.25) and modest annual revenue growth of 2.4%, with no FLAGS indicating a 10b5-1 plan or other scheduled execution.
