On Nov. 12, 2025, Thompson, Siegel, & Walmsley LLC disclosed a significant purchase of LKQ, increasing its position by 1,470,033 shares, adding approximately $31.47 million.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing dated Nov. 12, 2025, Thompson, Siegel, & Walmsley (TSW) increased its stake in LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ:LKQ) by 1,470,033 shares during the third quarter.

LKQ:
LKQ is a leading distributor of automotive replacement parts and related products, with a diversified presence across North America and Europe.
The company leverages a broad product portfolio and an extensive distribution network to support the repair and maintenance needs of the automotive aftermarket.
Its scale and multi-segment operations provide a competitive advantage in sourcing, logistics, and customer reach.
Thompson, Siegel, & Walmsley’s $31 purchase of LKQ should raise some eyebrows. TSW has held LKQ shares since 2018, and the stock was already a top-ten position for the firm.
However, following its massive purchase in the latest quarter, LKQ is now TSW’s second-largest holding among the firm’s well-diversified portfolio.
TSW has now added shares of LKQ six times over the last two years while more than doubling the number of shares it owned in the company. Since LKQ’s shares have been halved since late 2021, it is fair to say TSW views the stock as something between a value stock opportunity and a buy-the-dip investment.
Despite its 50% drop in value, I’d argue that LKQ remains as sound operationally today as it was five years ago and still appears to be the leader in its auto replacement parts distributor niche.
Now with an EV/EBITDA of just 7.8 — its lowest mark ever, outside of the 2020 and 2008 crashes — LKQ is being priced for near death in a world of burgeoning electric and autonomous vehicle hopes.
That said, I believe these fears may be overstated, and TSW seems to agree, as it doubles down on the market share-leading stock.
With the company’s 4.2% dividend yield at an all-time high as well, now is as good a time as any to consider the stock. However, this isn’t likely to be a growth stock or a multibagger anytime soon, so investors will want to temper their expectations and continuously monitor the company’s performance due to the ongoing transformation in its industry.
