Movement Alert｜Lithia Motors Falls 5.18% in Regular Trading, shares pull back after earnings beat-driven rally

Market Focus10-22

On October 22, Lithia Motors fell 5.18% in Regular Trading, trading near $285.01 per share, with turnover of $94.72 million.

The move followed a strong quarterly report released a day earlier, but the stock gave back part of its prior earnings-driven advance even after the company beat consensus on both profit and revenue and raised its dividend.

For the third quarter, adjusted EPS was $10.34 versus market expectations around $9.70-$9.77, up from $9.50 a year earlier, while revenue rose to about $9.95 billion from $9.68 billion and also topped forecasts near $9.73-$9.75 billion. The reported upside was driven mainly by growth in used vehicles and financing operations. Despite those fundamentals, the latest session showed relative weakness versus Carvana, which rose 0.45% in the same sector.
