On August 7, Carvana Co. rose 3.69% in regular trading, trading at approximately $71.93 per share, with turnover of $62.53 million. The stock continued its recovery trajectory following a strong Q2 earnings report and the announcement of its entry into new car sales.
The company reported Q2 revenue of $7.376 billion, surging 52% year-over-year and significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $6.909 billion. EPS came in at $0.42, beating the $0.36 estimate by 16.67% and representing a 61.5% year-over-year increase. Retail vehicle sales reached 197,000 units, up 38% year-over-year, both marking all-time highs. Although full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.7-3.0 billion fell slightly below some Wall Street expectations, triggering an initial 11% sell-off post-release, the strong revenue growth and profitability improvement have since driven a sustained rebound.
Additionally, the company recently acquired seven new car dealership franchises, formally entering the new car sales market. Analysts maintain an average overweight rating with a mean price target of approximately $85.93, suggesting further upside potential from current levels.
