CARS Earnings Call
Q2 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed sentiment with strong performance in audience growth, dealer count, and product adoption, particularly in the Dealer Club and AccuTrade segments. However, these highlights were counterbalanced by revenue decline, uncertainty in OEM ad spending, and pressured dealer revenue. The suspension of full-year revenue guidance further reflected the uncertainties faced by the company.View all CARS earnings summariesCARS Stock 12 Month Forecast
