About CarParts.com, Inc.

CarParts.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRTS) is a United States-based eCommerce company focused on automotive parts and accessories. Headquartered operationally in Long Beach, California, it serves DIY vehicle owners, independent repair shops, and value-oriented customers looking for replacement parts online. For investors, the company represents a digital aftermarket auto-parts platform operating in a large but highly competitive and price-sensitive market. Founded in 1995, CarParts.com has built its business around direct-to-consumer online retail, emphasizing broad product selection, in-stock availability, and delivery speed. The company says it offers more than 1 million automotive parts and accessories, spanning body parts, lighting, cooling, braking, suspension, and routine maintenance categories. Its competitive position is not based on a single proprietary brand, but on a combination of eCommerce execution, distribution capabilities, last-mile delivery, search-driven customer acquisition, and a broad catalog that can address frequent replacement demand. Over time, the company has evolved from a simple online auto-parts seller into a technology-driven retail platform with meaningful operational infrastructure. That infrastructure matters because the business is tied to several core drivers: search-engine traffic, pricing discipline, conversion rates, supply-chain efficiency, and fulfillment performance. In recent public comments, management has highlighted the importance of its physical distribution network, global supply chain, and simplification initiatives as key levers to improve efficiency and free cash flow. Geographically, CarParts.com is primarily focused on the United States market, although its operations rely on an international supply chain and offshore support functions. Recent developments have been material: in 2025, the company announced a strategic investment from ZongTeng Group, A-Premium, and CDH Investments, followed by board changes. In 2026, it expanded its partnership with A-Premium to launch a 30,000-SKU JC Whitney branded product line, and it completed the transition of its Manila captive operations to Lean Solutions Group to lower complexity and costs. The stock trades on the NASDAQ, reinforcing its profile as a U.S.-listed growth-and-execution story with exposure to aftermarket demand, logistics execution, and competitive pressure.
