CarMax (KMX) is grappling with a series of challenges that are impacting its market performance and future potential significantly. Recent issues include sales pressure, high debt level and changes in leadership. The CEO has recently exited, adding to the uncertainties surrounding the company’s direction. The company's stock, as a consequence, underwent a significant slide, slipping 53% in 2025. Major alterations have occurred in ownership, as exemplified by SG Americas Securities LLC's decision to offload KMX shares. Despite a 8.7% rise post the CEO's departure, there are concerns about whether KMX's rally could soon run out of fuel. The company’s quarterly profits and revenue have shown a dip amid a weakening used car market resulting in shareholder losses, which triggered a class action lawsuit. Eyes are now on the potential big volume purchase of CarMax call options. Legal challenges, margin cuts, executive exits and a slump in used car sales have all been reshaping the narrative for CarMax. Voices are questioning the absence of genuine competitive advantages and calling the stock expensive. Amid this turmoil, CarMax surprised the market by beating Q4 CY2025 sales expectations.
