About Lithia Motors
Lithia Motors is a retailer of new and used vehicles and related services. The company offers nearly 60 vehicle brands across nearly 500 stores in the US, Canada, and the UK. The company has expanded largely through acquiring dealerships in smaller regional markets but now seeks to grow across the US. We expect more deals over time in the US and, at times, abroad. Annual revenue in 2025 was $37.6 billion, and we see over $50 billion possible in a few years. The US was 78.5% of 2025 revenue and the UK second at 18.4%, due to the 2024 Pendragon acquisition. In 2025, new-vehicle sales accounted for about 50% of total revenue. Founded in 1946, Lithia went public in 1996 and is the largest US auto dealer. It is based in Medford, Oregon.

What the Analysts think about Lithia Motors
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Lithia Motors stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Lithia Motors stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Used-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 11% year on year, while same-store aftersales gross profit grew 2.4% and its margin expanded by 100 basis points. These higher-margin businesses help cushion weaker new-car economics. (Lithia & Driveway)
Driveway Finance income jumped 69% to $32.3 million, with record originations of $937 million. A growing captive finance business adds an earnings stream beyond dealership sales. (Lithia & Driveway)
Lithia acquired stores expected to add $1.17 billion in annualised revenue year to date and repurchased 8.7% of its outstanding shares in 2026. Continued expansion and a lower share count could support future earnings per share. (Lithia & Driveway)
Same-store revenue fell 1.4% in the third quarter, with same-store new and used retail unit sales down 2.7% and 3.2%, respectively. That points to weak underlying store demand beneath record reported revenue. (Lithia & Driveway)
New-vehicle gross profit per unit fell 5.7% year on year and finance-and-insurance gross profit per unit fell 4.7%; adjusted net income was down 5%. Continued pressure in these profit streams could limit earnings growth. (Lithia & Driveway)
Net debt rose 11.7% year on year to about $5.0 billion, while net debt to adjusted EBITDA increased to 3.07 times from 2.63 times. Rising leverage alongside lower trailing adjusted EBITDA leaves less room for setbacks. (Lithia & Driveway)
