Key financials Revenue grew 48.6% while EPS surged 176.5%, reflecting strong top-line expansion. Margins remain tight: gross 19.4%, operating 9.2%, and net 6.3%.

Stock health SiderAvia scores the stock Weak overall (46.1/100), with low Valuation (13.5) and Quality (45.0) scores offset by higher Growth (70.4) and Strength (62.5). Momentum is mixed: +13.14% over 6 months but -25.88% from the 52-week high, with RSI at 52.60.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount of 14.70%** versus the analyst mean target of 82.83. - Embedded insurance partnership with Root Insurance expands revenue streams (2026-09-01). - New inspection and reconditioning center at ADESA Brasher’s improves operational scale (2026-09-01). - Federal probe into an outside investor rattled shares, pressuring valuation (2026-08-29).
Looking forward Forward P/E of 42.02 and EV/EBITDA of 520.83 suggest high expectations are already priced in. Growth remains strong but margin stability and leverage constraints are key risks. Momentum signals are neutral, with recent operational expansions potentially supporting long-term value.
