Shares of online used car dealer Carvana (NYSECVNA)
fell 15.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, but expectations were high heading into the announcements, and the results failed to impress. Carvana exceeded analysts' EBITDA and revenue estimates as it sold more used vehicles than anticipated. Zooming out, we think this was a decent quarter with some key areas of upside. The market seemed to be hoping for more, however, as shares were up 40%+ year-to-date going into the print.
