Autozone Inc (AZO US, +1, 22-Dec-25)

Brian Hannasch (Lead Independent Director since Dec. 2025, Director since 2022) spent $500,000 on December 18th at $3,393, increasing his holdings to $3.3 million. His only prior buying in the stock was soon after joining the board in 2022, spending $750,000 from March to May 2022, around $1,900 per share, and those purchases proved timely. 

He is the former CEO of Alimentation Couche-Tard (2014-2024). While there, he made just one purchase, $500,000 in January 2021, which was perfectly timed. We ranked this stock +N on December 15th based on a $188,000 purchase from Jamere Jackson (CFO since 2023) at $3,413, his first purchase of the shares. The stock has been weak since reporting Q1 results in early December. 

We now have two solid purchases and are upgrading the stock further, from +N (notable and positive signal) to +1 (strongly positive signal).
