On June 1, Carvana Co. declined 3.29% in regular trading, trading at $70.27/share, with trading volume of $92.11 million. The stock had previously staged a multi-day corrective rebound following strong Q1 earnings but is now giving back gains as market concerns over second-quarter profitability resurface.
Carvana reported record Q1 revenue of $6.43 billion, up 52% year-over-year, with EPS of $1.69 significantly exceeding consensus estimates of $1.50 to $1.58. Retail unit sales reached 187,393 vehicles, up 40% year-over-year, marking the ninth consecutive quarter of growth. Despite these strong fundamentals, investors remain cautious about potential headwinds to Q2 retail unit gross profit stemming from pricing lag dynamics. RBC Capital Markets had previously raised its target price to $460, but near-term uncertainty around margin sustainability continues to cap upside momentum, with the corrective rebound losing steam and selling pressure re-emerging.
