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.

What the Analysts think about Autonation
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Autonation stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Autonation stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
After-sales is becoming a more dependable profit engine as vehicle trading weakens. Second-quarter parts and service revenue rose 3.4% year on year to $1.26 billion, while record gross profit and 7% customer-pay growth point to durable repair demand. (Financial Times)
AutoNation Finance is scaling quickly and adding another high-margin earnings stream. Its portfolio reached $2.7 billion in the second quarter, while quarterly finance income rose to $10.7 million from $2.0 million a year earlier as funding costs and profitability improved. (Financial Times, Longbridge)
Targeted acquisitions and buybacks could lift future per-share growth. The four June dealership purchases add about $600 million of annual revenue and 9,700 annual retail units, while first-half repurchases of $457 million reduced the share count by roughly 12% year on year. (AutoNation, Financial Times)
Near-term vehicle economics are deteriorating. Management expects new-vehicle gross profit per unit to fall about 10% sequentially in the third quarter because of model-year changeovers, while affordability pressure is forcing greater price concessions. (TradingView, Financial Times)
The expiry of EV incentives is hurting both volume and product mix. AutoNation said battery-electric vehicle sales fell by more than 30% year on year in the second quarter, with EV penetration dropping to low single digits from 8% to 9% previously. (TradingView, Financial Times)
The stronger headline EPS comparison masks weaker underlying operations and higher balance-sheet exposure. Second-quarter adjusted operating income fell to $343 million from $369 million, while AutoNation carried $4.4 billion of non-vehicle debt and its expanding finance book increases funding and credit-loss risk. (Longbridge, Financial Times)
