CarMax (KMX) has had a turbulent time, witnessing a three-year loss for shareholders likely due to shrinking earnings. Investor groups including Baillie Gifford & Co., &Partners, and Assenagon Asset Management have increased their holdings, while others including Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings have decreased their holdings. The used car retailer had laid off more than 400 employees recently, further contributing to a 33% fall in its first-quarter profit. Despite daily losses, KMX outperformed its competitors. Questions of opportunity in investing in CarMax arose amidst discussions of high rates and supply woes as well as poor Q1 earnings and revenue estimates. Insight through strategic SWOT analysis and analyst reviews of CarMax were sought to understand its current position in the market, especially with the drop in stock by 11.7% within a week. Insider unloading has been observed with EVP selling 25,000 shares of the stock along with CEO William D. Nash selling $9.55 million in stock. In spite of mixed Q1 results, investors remained hopeful of its long-term growth even if cautious. However, CarMax has waved red flags for Carvana Stock. Amidst a tough used car market, the anticipation of earnings recovery is reflected in KMX's valuation.
