Argus analyst Christopher Graja raised his price target on Advance Auto Parts to $155 and also raised his FY19 EPS target to $7.90 from $7.50, saying he is now modeling an 80bps improvement in operating margins thanks to the company's efforts to reduce costs, improve inventory management, and boost its customer service. Graja also points to higher free cash flows generated in Q1 as the company's chairman Jeffrey Smith and CEO Tom Greco turn Advance Auto Parts into a more efficiently run firm. The analyst notes that the signs of operating improvement have also led him to increase his target enterprise value to EBIT valuation multiple to 15-times from 14-times.
