BTIG analyst Marvin Fong maintains $Carvana (CVNA.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $188.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 39.1% and a total average return of -7.1% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Carvana (CVNA.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Observations indicate that Carvana's third-quarter unit sales may exceed consensus estimates, with sales potentially reaching 107,800 units. Analyses suggest an increase in unit and EBITDA projections for the third quarter and future periods, in light of the company's growing demand, expanding inventory, and ongoing efficiency improvements. There is a noted appreciation for Carvana's ability to enhance gross profit per unit through substantial operational advancements, and the anticipation of further progress. Despite a constructive outlook on the stock as demand increases and margins widen, a cautious stance is maintained due to the significant rise in share value since early September. A strategic approach would be considered around any significant market retractions.
The company's risk exposure to Q3 Other GPU is seen as limited, with a slightly higher risk anticipated for Q4. Updated forecasts for Q3 unit sales are now higher than previous estimates, with the adjustment based on the uptick in website traffic and improved conversion rates due to a growth in inventory, reduced average selling prices, and marginally decreased loan APRs enhancing affordability. The recent three-day port strike is considered to have a negligible impact, whereas Hurricane Helene is believed to have modestly affected sales in the Southeast towards the quarter's end, likely deferring those sales to October.
