Shares of online used car dealer Carvana (NYSE: CVNA)
jumped 11.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which significantly beat analysts' revenue and EBITDA expectations. They sold nearly 134,000 retail units (used cars), up 46%, and revenue climbed 38%, showing that buyers are still flocking to Carvana's online model.
Margins looked strong too, with profit per sale improving and a nice boost from a revaluation in one of their investments. We think this was a solid print, but expectations were likely sky-high given the stock rocketed 50%+ over the past month.
