Carvana posted solid Q3 results with market-share gains and improving unit economics. Needham highlighted roughly 40% growth in retail used units and expansion capacity to 3 million annually, underpinning a long-term EBITDA CAGR near 30%. While BTIG noted an EBITDA drag from higher costs, the company raised Q4 revenue and EBITDA guidance, signaling continued momentum.
Carvana posted a record third quarter with revenue over $8 billion and sharply higher profits. Vehicle sales rose about 40%, while free cash flow and debt positions improved. The company outlined ambitious long-term growth and margin targets, signaling a durable upcycle if execution holds.
Carvana is consolidating after Jefferies flagged September unit sales 40% above estimates, fueling a gain of more than 5% in CVNA shares. The chart centers on $57 as a long-standing support level that has sparked rallies in 2025, suggesting a potential near-term bottom if buyers defend the level. A break below $57 could weaken the setup and re-invite selling.
Federal prosecutors and the SEC are examining Mark Walter and related entities over whether financial ties were concealed as more than $20 billion moved through insurers he controls. Walter indirectly owns an 8% stake in CVNA via CVAN Holdings, heightening sensitivity to any cash needs or asset sales. Insider selling and a warrant arrangement add near-term volatility around CVNA.
Carvana reported stronger-than-expected Q2 results with revenue of $7.38 billion and net income of $513 million, supporting a H1 adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 billion (Q2 $769 million). Management reaffirmed ambitious goals, targeting 3 million cars sold annually and a 13.5% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2030–2035, while guiding a flat second half. Despite the fundamentals, shares fell about 20% after hours on the guidance.
Carvana nudges higher on dip-buying after last week’s weakness amid cautious discretionary trading. The stock sits below its 50- and 200-day averages, with resistance at 73 and support at 61; a reclaim of the low-70s could extend a bounce, while failure near 73 risks renewed downside.
