O’Reilly Automotive is actively managing supplier health to mitigate tariff impacts, according to President Brent Kirby. The company evaluates shipping performance, product quality, and financial stability, while its merchandising teams collaborate with suppliers to manage risks associated with sourcing. O’Reilly has diversified its supply chain, reducing its reliance on goods from China to the mid-20s percentage, and is focused on dynamic multisourcing. Kirby noted that the supply chain is currently robust, with strong in-stock availability, positioning the company well to navigate ongoing trade uncertainties.
