BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. , Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithia & Driveway (NYSE: LAD), the largest publicly traded automotive retailer in the world, today announced the acquisition of Porsche Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Audi.

MEDFORD, Ore. , Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithia & Driveway (NYSE: LAD) today announced the acquisition of Porsche Beverly Hills and Audi Santa Monica.

Lithia Motors remains a "Buy" due to strong growth, attractive valuation, and continued expansion via acquisitions despite recent share underperformance. LAD reported robust revenue and profit growth, driven by higher vehicle sales and strategic dealership acquisitions, though gross profit per unit declined as industry conditions normalized. Significant leverage from acquisition-driven growth keeps LAD's EV/EBITDA valuation above peers, raising concerns about debt levels versus market cap.

Lithia Motors is rated neutral due to strong aftersales and used vehicle segments, but new vehicle profitability and consumer affordability remain key concerns. Aftersales revenue and gross profit are robust, providing recurring, macro-resistant earnings, while used vehicle demand benefits from consumer 'trade down' behavior. New and used vehicle gross profit per unit are at multi-year lows, with industry-wide headwinds and uncertainty around when the cycle will improve.
