About: CarMax sells, finances, and services used and new cars through a chain of around 250 used retail stores. It was formed in 1993 as a unit of Circuit City and spun off into an independent company in late 2002. Used-vehicle sales were 83% of fiscal 2025 revenue and wholesale about 17%, with the remaining portion composed of extended service plans and repair. In fiscal 2025, the company retailed and wholesaled 789,050 and 544,312 used vehicles, respectively. CarMax is the largest used-vehicle retailer in the US but still estimates that it had only about 3.7% US market share of vehicles 0-10 years old in calendar 2024. It seeks over 5% share. CarMax is based in Richmond, Virginia.

CarMax: Solid Execution, But I Still Have Lingering Concerns (Rating Upgrade To Hold)

I am upgrading CarMax from sell to hold after strong 1Q26 results and impressive retail growth, despite a tough macro environment. Management's execution on pricing and inventory, especially the Value Max program, drove robust sales across both budget and premium segments. Credit quality in the CarMax Auto Finance segment remains a concern, with elevated loan loss provisions and declining financing penetration posing earnings headwinds.

CarMax: Tariffs Support Q1 But Credit Headwinds Persist (Upgrade)

CarMax delivered a strong Q1 beat, driven by higher volumes and record margins, but some gains may be temporary due to tariff pull-forward. Financing profits remain pressured by rising credit losses, and I expect ongoing provisioning to weigh on future earnings. CarMax shares now trade near my fair value target, reflecting a balanced risk/reward after recent underperformance and improved cost controls.
