AutoNation, Inc. AN

Wayne Huizenga started with a borrowed $5,000 and a single garbage truck, then pulled off something Forbes says no entrepreneur has ever repeated before or since.

Shares of CarMax rose Tuesday after the used-car retailer posted better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings and said it plans to resume repurchasing shares. CarMax stock advanced 3.5% to $58.58 on Tuesday after ending Monday down 1.2%. CarMax posted adjusted earnings of $1.16 a share in the quarter ended Aug. 31, up from 64 cents a share a year ago and above Wall Street’s expectation of 73 cents.

CarMax just posted a quarter strong enough to move rivals like Carvana and Lithia Motors higher, but skeptics are questioning whether the real driver was shoppers returning or a set of one-time finance items that may not repeat.

AutoNation, Inc. recently amended and restated its unsecured credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase and other lenders, lifting its revolving credit facility commitment from US$1.90 billion to US$2.00 billion, expanding the accordion feature to as much as US$1.00 billion, and extending the maturity to September 14, 2031.

Over the past decade, DRV PNK has evolved into a def

Copart (CPRT) has lost more than a third of its value over the past twelve months, while the S&P 500 gained about 17%. At $29.66, the stock sits at roughly 64% of its 52-week high, and the easy read is that a durable auction business has gone on sale. But its growth slowed well before the acquisition it just announced, and dealer volume is a different business from the insurance volume that is falling.

AN's warning sank dealer stocks yesterday. Weak service revenues, muted new-vehicle margins, soft EV demand and Fed hikes point to a tougher Q3.

Carvana is leaving CarMax and Lithia Motors in the dust today, but the reason has nothing to do with used cars and everything to do with where traders are parking their risk appetite right now.

Carvana just posted its best quarter ever, yet the stock keeps sliding while a traditional rival is up over 50% this year. Something about that gap deserves a closer look.
