On June 26, Carvana Co. declined 3.19% in regular trading, trading at $65.425/share, with turnover of $130 million. The stock extended its retreat as the formal inclusion into the S&P 500 index officially took effect.

Carvana's addition to the S&P 500 became effective on this date, requiring passive index-tracking funds to complete their allocation. The market had already fully priced in the inclusion expectation during prior sessions, and with fund positioning now complete, the stock exhibited a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact pattern. Additionally, RBC Capital Markets previously lowered its price target from $92 to $85, citing headwinds to Q2 retail gross profit per unit from less favorable securitization terms, including a 66 basis-point decline in excess spread and a 50 basis-point increase in over-collateralization targets. The stock has now retreated from above $72 to the $65 range, with short-term profit-taking pressure compounding the exhaustion of positive catalysts.
