On August 17, Carvana Co. declined 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $73.4 per share with turnover of approximately $23.6 million, giving back gains from two consecutive sessions of over 3% rebounds.
The pullback reflects weakening short-term recovery momentum as trading volume contracted significantly compared to prior sessions. Multiple institutions had previously lowered their price targets: BNP Paribas cut to $69 from $86 maintaining a Neutral rating, Evercore ISI reduced to $75 from $86 with an In Line rating, and Bank of America lowered to $75 from $88. Although Carvana reported strong Q2 results with revenue of $7.376 billion beating estimates of $6.907 billion and EPS of $0.42 exceeding consensus by 16.67%, its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.7 billion to $3.0 billion came in below some Wall Street expectations, continuing to pressure sentiment. The company's recent $1.66 billion refinancing at SOFR plus 225 basis points, replacing its 9.00% senior secured notes, improved its debt cost structure but failed to sustain buying interest.
