CarMax shares drop 12% as profit per vehicle set to decline 8.9%

CarMax shares fell 12% in premarket trading after management warned that profit per retail vehicle would continue declining whilst expanding cost-cutting plans. The company expects retail gross profit per unit in fiscal 2027 to fall at a similar pace to the fourth quarter's 8.9% decline. CarMax is raising its sales, general and administrative expense reduction target to $200 million by end of fiscal 2027, up from $150 million. Capital spending will be cut to approximately $400 million in fiscal 2027, roughly $140 million below the previous year. The company faces intensifying competition from online-focused Carvana and traditional dealerships. Fourth-quarter results showed comparable used-vehicle sales declined 1.9%, beating the 4.7% expected drop, whilst gross profit per used vehicle reached $2,115, above the $2,050 consensus estimate.

The Richmond, Virginia-based used car dealership chain posted quarterly revenue of $5.95 billion, exceeding analyst forecasts of $5.77 billion.

CarMax Q1 results due Tuesday as analysts expect 4.6% revenue decline

CarMax, a used automotive vehicle retailer, will report Q1 results on Tuesday before the bell. The market expects revenue to decline 4.6% year-on-year, reversing the 6.7% increase recorded in the same quarter last year. Last quarter, CarMax beat revenue expectations with $5.79 billion, down 6.9% year-on-year, whilst exceeding analysts' EPS and EBITDA estimates. However, the company has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates multiple times over the past two years. Analysts have largely reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days. CarMax shares have risen 12.2% over the past month, outperforming the automotive and marine retail segment's 3.3% average gain. The current share price of $46.79 sits above the average analyst price target of $40.92.

CarMax's new CEO Keith Barr prioritises tech upgrades to improve customer experience and compete with Carvana

CarMax's new CEO Keith Barr has outlined three priorities for fiscal year 2027, with technology upgrades at the forefront. The 55-year-old executive, whose appointment took effect on 16 March, emphasised updating the used-car retailer's e-commerce platform to improve customer experience and compete with rivals like Carvana. Barr's other priorities include making CarMax "the obvious choice" through competitive pricing and exceptional user experience, and acting with urgency to change what isn't working. His focus on technology mirrors his previous role as CEO of InterContinental Hotels Group from 2017 to 2023, where he modernised digital systems. Major shareholder Starboard Value LP has criticised CarMax's digital trade-in process as cumbersome compared to competitors, urging a more streamlined approach with fewer steps and instant valuations.
