On July 15, CarMax rose 5.62% in regular trading, trading at $59.14/share, with turnover of $14.13 million. The move was driven by the company's disclosure of a shareholding change statement, which combined with prior institutional target price upgrades to further boost market confidence in the company's turnaround trajectory.

The catalyst builds on CarMax's fiscal Q1 results reported in June, where EPS of $1.31 beat the consensus estimate of $0.94 by approximately 39%. Following those results, UBS raised its price target from $42 to $57 and lifted its fiscal year EPS forecast from $2.29 to $2.72, noting that CarMax is in the early stages of a turnaround with pricing, marketing, and conversion initiatives already showing tangible progress. Activist investor Starboard Value previously took a roughly $350 million stake and secured board representation, pushing for improvements in digital experience, cost structure, and pricing strategy.
