Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Aftersales And F&I PerformanceRobust aftersales and finance and insurance operations drive the majority of gross profit, providing steady cash flow that supports overall profitability even when retail sales fluctuate.
Liquidity And ValuationHealthy liquidity with low leverage gives flexibility for growth and shareholder returns while the stock trades below its historical multiples, creating potential upside for value-oriented investors.
Powersports GrowthImproved powersports volumes and raised guidance, supported by strong event-driven demand, provide a meaningful offset to weakness in other segments and help diversify revenue sources.
Bears Say
Cost And Valuation PressureHigher operating costs and recent margin misses have led analysts to lower expectations and reduce the price target, increasing downside risk to the stock.
EchoPark VolatilityOngoing volatility and lower-than-expected unit sales at EchoPark weigh on consolidated results and create execution risk as the used-car recovery remains uneven.
Electric Vehicle Mix PressureA rising share of battery electric vehicles has compressed new-vehicle gross margins, reducing dealer profitability and pressuring overall margin performance.
