Apr 11, 2024 9:00 AM

Carvana Co ( CVNA ) shares are moving lower. The stock appears to be trading down in sympathy with shares of competitor CarMax Inc ( KMX ) , which fell on worse-than-expected earnings results.

What Happened With KMX: Carmax ( KMX ) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $5.63 billion, which missed the consensus estimate of $5.79 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported quarterly earnings of 32 cents per share, which missed estimates of 49 cents per share.

Net revenues were down 1.7% on a year-over-year basis, while comparable sales increased 0.1% compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 287,603, representing a decline of 0.9% from the prior year’s quarter.

“We are encouraged by the performance of our business during the fourth quarter. We reported growth in total used unit sales and comps, delivered strong retail and wholesale gross profit per unit, continued to actively manage SG&A and grew CAF income significantly year-over-year,” said Bill Nash, president and CEO of CarMax ( KMX ).

CarMax ( KMX ) maintained its goal to sell more than 2 million combined retail and wholesale units annually, but extended the timeframe to between fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2030 due to uncertainty in the timing of market recovery and a continued focus on profitable market share growth. CarMax ( KMX ) shares were down nearly 7% at last check.

Carvana ( CVNA ) is due to report its quarterly financial results after the market close on May 1. The company is expected to report a loss of 77 cents per share and revenue of $2.649 billion, according to estimates from Benzinga Pro.
