Argus Research Sticks to Their Buy Rating for AutoNation (AN)We believe AutoNation is well-positioned for the future of car buying. The company’s omnichannel approach, which integrates online and in-store purchasing, enables customers to buy a car on their own terms. This differentiates AutoNation from online-only and in-store-only retailers and has helped it to boost market share. The company also offers a self-service option, allowing customers to obtain rapid online vehicle appraisals and financing offers without an associate. We have a favorable view of these investments in technology and expect the increased emphasis on customer “self-service” to boost sales and margins. The company is also expanding its reach in the aftersales market with the acquisition of RepairSmith, which we expect will support AutoNation’s after-sales business and improve customer retention.
