Market cap $1.74B

Maintain Hold rating on Mister Car Wash due to persistent weakness in retail traffic impacting long-term growth prospects. Q3 2025 results show strong subscription business performance, but retail same-store sales remain in low double-digit decline. MCW's Unlimited Wash Club pricing power and competitive environment normalization are positives, yet UWC membership growth has stalled sequentially.

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mister Car Wash, Inc. (the "Company" or "Mister"; Nasdaq: MCW), the nation's leading car wash brand, today announced that its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 will be released after market close on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.

Mister Car Wash shares have dropped 35% YTD, but the business remains stable with growing sales, EBITDA, and a strong subscriber base. MCW's subscription model, leading market share, and strong balance sheet provide competitive advantages in a slowing but still competitive car wash industry. At just 7x 2026 EBITDA and 9x free cash flow, MCW appears undervalued, with a fair value estimate of $7-8 per share (45-65% upside).

I maintain a Hold rating on Mister Car Wash due to ongoing retail weakness despite strong subscription performance and encouraging marketing results. MCW's pricing power and resilient UWC membership growth validate the subscription model, but retail sales declines are dragging overall results and profitability. The competitive landscape is easing and marketing pilots show promise, yet retail traffic softness and slower store expansion raise growth concerns.

Although the revenue and EPS for Mister Car Wash (MCW) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
