Company News
Copart Inc reported Q4 2026 consolidated revenue of $1.2 billion, up 2.4% year-over-year, whilst full-year revenue reached $4.7 billion, up 0.4%. The company saw record total loss frequency and average selling prices, with Q4 global ASPs rising 3.5% and full-year ASPs up 5.5%. However, net income fell 17.4% to $327.4 million in Q4, with diluted earnings per share down 14.6% to $0.35. Full-year net income declined 4.4% to $1.48 billion. Global unit sales dropped 2.9% in Q4, driven by a 5.7% decline in the US market. Copart maintains strong liquidity of approximately $5.7 billion, comprising $4.5 billion in cash and securities plus $1.25 billion in revolving credit capacity. The company deployed $1.63 billion into share repurchases during the fiscal year. The firm expects its ACV acquisition to close by year-end and prove accretive to earnings in its first full year.
Copart has agreed to acquire ACV for $10.50 per share in cash, valuing the digital automotive marketplace at approximately $1.9 billion. The price represents a 45% premium to ACV's closing stock price on 10 August 2026. The acquisition will combine Copart's global vehicle auction platform with ACV's dealer-to-dealer wholesale marketplace, creating an end-to-end digital remarketing platform spanning trade-ins, wholesale, salvage, and international resale. Copart operates over 250 locations across 11 countries and sold more than 4 million units last year. The transaction is expected to generate cost and revenue synergies across dealer, commercial, and retail channels. Copart anticipates the deal will be earnings-neutral in the first year and accretive from fiscal 2028 onwards. Both boards have unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close by year-end 2026. ACV will operate as an independent subsidiary under its existing leadership team.

Copart's executive chairman Jay Adair is returning to his former role as CEO, a move viewed positively by Madison Large Cap Fund. Adair previously served as CEO for many years and was instrumental in building the vehicle remarketing company over three decades. The Madison Large Cap Fund highlighted Copart in its Q2 2026 investor letter, noting the company's earnings have grown healthily despite frustrating recent performance. Volume growth remains weak due to more under- and uninsured auto drivers and shifting market share amongst insurance carriers. In Q3 FY 2026, Copart's consolidated revenue reached $1.24 billion, up 2.1% year-on-year, driven by robust service and purchase vehicle sales. The company's competitive position remains strong, according to the fund. Copart closed at $33.85 per share on 19 August 2026, with a market capitalisation of $31.26 billion.
Car-Seller Copart among suitors for car insurance software firm CCC. By Ryan Gould August 19, 2026 Copart Inc. is in talks to acquire CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc., the car-insurance software provider that has been weighing selling itself, according to people familiar with the matter. Dallas-based Copart, which specializes in used and salvaged car sales and has a market value of roughly $29 billion, has been vying with several private equity firms including GTCR and Veritas Capital about acquiring CCC, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Deliberations are ongoing and there's no certainty that any of the suitors will reach an agreement, the people said, adding that it's also possible another buyer could emerge. Representatives for Copart, CCC and Veritas didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for GTCR declined to comment. CCC has been working with a financial adviser in recent weeks to explore options after Elliott Investment Management built a large stake in the Chicago-based firm. Elliott, which is best known as an activist investor that takes stakes in some of the world's largest companies, has been engaging via its private equity arm with CCC, Bloomberg News reported in July. Shares in CCC, which have lost 27% of their value over the past year, jumped as much as 14% Tuesday in New York trading before closing up 6.7% to $7.14, giving the company a market value of about $4.2 billion. CCC previously weighed a sale in 2023, when its stock was valued at around $8 billion. Copart's shares, which have fallen 33% in the past year, fell 0.6% to $31.51 Any deal involving CCC would mark a turning point for the software industry at a time when many investors have been pulling back from making fresh bets amid fears of displacement from artificial intelligence tools. Acquisitions of software companies globally since Jan. 1 total $141 billion, compared with $167 billion at this point last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This year's total doesn't include for the $250 billion merger of Elon Musk's xAI with SpaceX, which if added would put the 2026 tally to date well ahead of 2021's record-setting volume for the entire year, the data show.
