What the Analysts think about Sonic Automotive

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Sonic Automotive stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Sonic’s Long-Term Issuer Default Rating at 'BB' with a Stable outlook, citing its leading position among U.S. dealerships, balanced gross profit mix, and strong liquidity, supporting projected 2025 EBITDA of around $500 million.
Sonic’s fixed operations and finance & insurance segments delivered record quarterly gross profits in Q2, together making up nearly 75% of total gross profit, strengthening overall margin resilience.
The addition of four Jaguar Land Rover dealerships in California makes Sonic the largest JLR volume retailer in the U.S. and is expected to add about $500 million in annualized revenue, strengthening its luxury brand mix and expanding market reach.
Sonic recorded a $172.4 million non-cash pre-tax franchise asset impairment in Q2, leading to a net loss of $45.6 million and signaling major asset writedown risk to earnings.
Revenues in the EchoPark segment fell 2% year-over-year in Q2 despite record profitability, indicating continued revenue and volume pressure in the unpredictable used-car market.
Same-store used vehicle volume at franchised dealerships declined 4% year-over-year, hurt by reduced late-model supply and weaker consumer affordability, showing strain in the core used-car sales business.
