Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) hurt investors’ sentiment with poor third-quarter results. Net loss of $2.67 per share came much above Wall Street’s expectation of a loss of $1.90. Also, it compared unfavorably with a loss of $0.38 in the same quarter last year.
Moreover, the company registered an 8% year-over-year decline in retail units sold to 102,570, owing to the challenging macro scenario. Revenue fell 3% to $3.39 billion.
Shares of the used cars online retailer plunged 7% in early trading hours on Friday. The company also provided subdued guidance for the fourth quarter. It expects retail units sold to decline on a sequential basis marred by lower used vehicle demand, as rising interest rates make buying cars expensive.
