Carvana Co. (CVNA) shares surged 5.04% during intraday trading on Wednesday, reflecting strong investor positioning ahead of the company's quarterly earnings release after the market close.
Market consensus projects revenue of $6.895 billion, a 50.24% year-over-year increase, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.42, up 46.09% from the prior year. The rally extends momentum from earlier in the week, as capital flowed in anticipation of robust growth metrics.
Analyst opinions remain mixed, with Bank of America lowering its price target to $75 while Barclays maintained an overweight rating and raised its target to $94. Despite some concerns over securitization conditions, the focus remains on Carvana's sales volume recovery and improving cost efficiency.
