On June 17, Carvana Co. declined 3.17% in regular trading, trading at $65.99/share, with turnover of $67.01 million. The stock had previously rebounded from around $65 to above $70 but recovery momentum faded again, sending shares back toward prior lows.

The decline reflects persistent market concerns over Q2 retail gross profit per unit (GPU) headwinds stemming from pricing lag effects. RBC Capital Markets recently lowered its target price from $92 to $85, maintaining its outperform rating, after noting that Carvana's latest securitization of finance receivables looks slightly less favorable quarter-on-quarter. Specifically, APRs in the mid-May deal declined by 13 basis points, with excess spread down 66 basis points and the over-collateralization target up 50 basis points, all working against gain on sale. RBC consequently cut its other GPU estimates by 2.1%, 2.5%, and 1.5% for Q2, Q3, and Q4 respectively.

Fundamentally, Carvana reported Q1 EPS of $1.69 beating expectations and revenue of $6.432 billion representing 52% year-over-year growth, but near-term sentiment headwinds continue to dominate price action.
