On July 30, Carvana Co. fell 11.04% in after-hours trading, trading at $53.45/share, with turnover of $41.41 million. The sharp after-hours decline was triggered by the company's quarterly earnings release, which failed to meet the aggressive growth expectations that had been fully priced into the stock during a multi-day pre-earnings rally.

Ahead of the report, market consensus had projected revenue of $6.895 billion, representing 50.24% year-over-year growth, and adjusted EPS of $0.42, up 46.09% year-over-year. The stock had surged approximately 4.85% on July 27, 3.07% on July 29, and another 5.04% intraday on July 30 as funds front-ran the expected strong results. The post-earnings selloff reflects that prior optimism was fully discounted. Additionally, Bank of America had previously slashed its price target from $88 to $75, while RBC Capital Markets lowered its other gross profit per unit estimates by 2.1% for Q2 due to slightly less favorable securitization conditions, with bears dominating the after-hours session once the divergence was resolved.
