Mister Car Wash's strong financial performance and promising earnings call outlook are significant positives, though technical analysis suggests bearish market conditions. The company's high P/E ratio raises valuation concerns, and negative free cash flow needs attention. Despite these challenges, strategic expansion and improved guidance reflect potential for future growth.

Strategic Growth and Strong Profitability Position Mister Car Wash as a BuyWe estimate the deal landed in the ~8x EBITDA range given approx. $50M of overall EBITDA per Driven Brands management commentary earlier today. In terms of Mister Car Wash (MCW) and our read on the situation, we prefer the company's restrained approach in avoiding the 'growth at all costs' mentality of peers. Smaller-scale opportunities are expected to present themselves for selective entry into new markets. For now, we believe MCW is best served staying in its own lane and building out 30+ greenfields per year.

Mister Car Wash: Strong Financial Performance and Growth Prospects Justify Buy RatingWe model 2025E EPS of $0.43 to reflect our 2025 comp forecast of 2.3% (vs. 2025 guidance of 1%-3%). We forecast 72% gross margin in 2025. We are modeling $349mn adj. EBITDA, a 9% growth from 2024. This also reflects the 30-35 new greenfield locations, which will be 70% back half weighted. We are forecasting $0.43/$0.47/$0.52 EPS for 2025-2027.

We believe this guidance is, rightfully, conservative, and we are maintaining our estimates, which were previously below the Street but are now consistent with the upper end. Though the shares have declined 8% over the past year (versus the the nearly 11x 2025E EBITDA multiple—see the high-SD increase seen in 2025. Further meaningful expansion will likely be predicated on the resumption of consistent 10%-plus gains in 2026 and beyond or a re-rating driven by the impact of mid-teens private market transactions (LINK). We remain 11.7x our 2026E EBITDA, or 25% upside potential from here.
