According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:AUTO is a Outperform.
Auto Trader’s strong financial performance and positive earnings call are the primary drivers of its score.

Challenges highlighted in the earnings call, such as the digital services tax and declining used car prices, also weigh on the overall score.
