About Autonation
AutoNation is the second-largest automotive dealer in the United States, with 2025 revenue of $27.6 billion and over 245 dealerships, plus 52 collision centers. The firm also has 24 AutoNation USA used-vehicle stores, a captive lender, four auction sites, and three parts distributors across 20 states primarily in Sunbelt metropolitan areas. New-vehicle sales account for nearly half of revenue; the company also sells used vehicles, parts, and repair services as well as auto financing. The company (formerly Republic Industries) divested its waste management unit (Republic Services) in 1999 and its car rental businesses (ANC Rental) in 2000. Wayne Huizenga founded the company in the 1990s to bring the rollup acquisition strategy to auto retailing, which proved to be a smart move.

Bulls say / Bears say
Record after-sales gross profit and 6% growth in customer-pay work give AutoNation a recurring earnings cushion when vehicle sales are soft. (Business Wire)
AutoNation Finance's loan portfolio grew by more than 40% year on year and its Q3 profit rose tenfold, creating a growing source of earnings beyond vehicle retail. (Business Wire)
Strong cash conversion supported $620 million of year-to-date share repurchases, cutting shares outstanding by 9%; the board has authorised a further $1 billion of buybacks. (Business Wire)
Same-store new and used retail unit sales fell 5% and 6% year on year in Q3, while same-store gross profit declined 5%, pointing to weaker demand across the core dealership business. (Business Wire)
Revenue was nearly flat, but gross profit fell 2% and operating income fell 16% in Q3, showing how quickly weaker gross profit can squeeze earnings. (Business Wire)
Finance and insurance net revenue fell 7% year on year in Q3, showing that vehicle-related weakness is also reaching a profit stream beyond vehicle sales. (Business Wire)
