Stock Track04-29 21:32

Lithia Motors Inc. (NYSE: LAD) saw its stock price soar 5.19% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the release of better-than-expected first quarter 2026 financial results.

The automotive retailer reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $7.34 for the quarter, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $6.83.
