The investment climate for
CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) seems to be fluctuating as indicated by different reports. The company faced a
33% drop in first-quarter profit which possibly resulted in a slight decline in its performance. However, major investors such as
SwedBank AB, Price T Rowe Associates Inc. and MD have shown increased interest in CarMax. CarMax's EVP,
Mohammad Shamim, sold 25,000 shares of stock triggering concerns over inside unloading, yet other contrarian investors find CarMax a viable investment. The Q1 and Q2 earnings presented varying results with certain misses on estimates but also talks of long-term growth. Despite score on strategy, shareholder concerns over
CEO compensation package and
share loss were evident. News about a
$1.25 billion bond sale surfaced after the profit miss. Augmenting this, the company's market volatility caused the stock price to fall. Yet, optimistic anticipation of earnings recovery and strategic focus on repurchases and margins characterized the company's growth plan. Nonetheless, the missed earnings caused a sales target delay, adversely impacting the share prices.
