Needham lowered the firm’s price target on Sonic Automotive (SAH) to $93 from $100 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

Needham states that it still sees a positive risk-reward skew in used auto however with recent improvements in wholesale data, but also believes that a choppy recovery is now more fully baked into expectations.
