Asbury Automotive Group's stock plummeted 5.32% during intraday trading on Thursday, following the release of its fourth quarter 2025 financial results.
The automotive retailer reported quarterly revenue of $4.676 billion, which missed analyst consensus estimates of $4.894 billion by approximately 4.46%. While the company's adjusted earnings per share of $6.67 slightly exceeded the $6.66 estimate, investors focused on the significant revenue shortfall and a sharp decline in profitability.
Net income for the quarter dropped 53% year-over-year to $60 million, with diluted earnings per share at $3.10. The revenue miss combined with the substantial decrease in net income appears to have driven the negative market reaction, outweighing the marginal adjusted EPS beat.
