US automotive retail stock volatility
Overview
Recent financial disclosures and analyst adjustments have led to significant stock volatility for major US automotive retailers.
AutoZone, Inc. saw its shares reach a 52-week low following price target reductions from Oppenheimer, Wells Fargo & Company, and Piper Sandler. This decline occurred despite the company reporting strong fourth-quarter results, including diluted earnings per share of $56.05 and a 5.6% year-on-year increase in net sales to $6.6 billion.
Similarly, Asbury Automotive Group hit a 52-week low after Morgan Stanley lowered its price target. While the company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $6.82, which exceeded consensus estimates, its revenue of $4.38 billion fell short of projected figures. Analyst sentiment remains mixed, with some institutions issuing upgrades and higher price objectives alongside recent downgrades.
