Auto supplier AutoZone (AZO) topped its fourth-quarter earnings expectations, reporting $5.69 billion in revenue and gains of $46.46 per share. Seth Basham, Wedbush Securities Managing Director of Equity Research, joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss AutoZone's disappointments on same-store sales growth. 'This is the second quarter in a row that we've seen disappointment for that commercial business which is one of the key drivers for AutoZone,' Basham says.
