An announcement from Lithia Motors ( (LAD) ) is now available.
Lithia Motors operates in automotive retail, selling new and used vehicles and providing aftersales, financing and fleet services through both brick-and-mortar locations and digital platforms, including Driveway and Driveway Finance Corporation. Its diversified model is designed to modernize personal transportation and deliver profitable growth in a large, unconsolidated global market.
On February 11, 2026, Lithia & Driveway reported record full-year 2025 revenue of $37.63 billion, up 4% year over year, with diluted EPS rising about 10% despite softer fourth-quarter profits driven by margin pressures and lower new-vehicle performance. The company highlighted strong same-store used and aftersales growth, record income from its finance arm, $2.4 billion of acquired annualized revenue, share repurchases equal to 11.4% of shares outstanding in 2025 and a $0.55 per-share dividend tied to its fourth-quarter results, underscoring ongoing capital returns and expansion amid a challenging but dynamic market.
Lithia & Driveway’s fourth-quarter 2025 revenue was essentially flat at $9.20 billion, while net income and adjusted EPS declined versus the prior year as the company absorbed margin compression and headwinds in new vehicle sales. Nonetheless, the group exited the year with about $1.5 billion in liquidity and continued to balance acquisitions and divestitures, seeking to consolidate its position as the leading global auto retailer.
The most recent analyst rating on (LAD) stock is a Buy with a $390.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lithia Motors stock, see the LAD Stock Forecast page.
