Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceRecent earnings beat with a fourth quarter EPS of $5.02 surpassing consensus estimates, alongside robust sales figures, reflects strong financial execution and potential upside for investors.
Market RecoveryNew and used car industry sales are gradually recovering to pre-pandemic levels, suggesting a return to stability and growth potential for the automotive sector.
Strategic GrowthThe company's focus on growing through mergers and acquisitions, coupled with an improving franchise store pipeline, indicates a strategic expansion to strengthen its market position.
Bears Say
Cost ManagementOverall Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) leverage is waning with most franchise dealers experiencing higher costs relative to gross profit, indicating potential inefficiencies.
Financial PerformanceUsed Gross Profit per Unit (GPU) fell due to a lower price mix and inventory rebalancing challenges, contributing to a broader downward trend in profitability.
Market DynamicsA 'used buyer's strike' is causing volumes to miss expectations, due to higher than expected Average Selling Prices (ASPs) that are exacerbating vehicle affordability pressures.
