Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

AutoNation is the second-largest automotive dealer in the United States, with 2025 revenue of $27.6 billion and over 240 dealerships, plus 52 collision centers. The firm also has 26 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 has proved to be a smart move.

AutoNation (AN) Stock Jumps As Q3 Earnings Put Debt In Focus

AutoNation stock closed at US$179.64, up 6.1% from the prior session, as investors rushed to price in the latest Q3 2026 report. On the surface, a basic earnings per share figure of about US$4.92 and quarterly net income of US$162.3m look like solid headline numbers for a car retailer wrestling with softer volumes and mixed electric vehicle demand. The short term story is the pop in the share price. The longer horizon depends on whether this earnings power and the current single digit P/E...

AutoNation (AN) Could Be 19% Below Fair Value As Earnings And Buybacks Land

AutoNation (AN) just dropped a dense third quarter earnings package and paired it with another sizeable buyback move, giving investors fresh numbers on profits, balance sheet deployment, and share count reduction. AutoNation’s latest update hit a stock that just swung sharply higher, with a 1-day share price return of 6.08% and a 7-day gain of 11.54%. However, the 90-day share price return has fallen 16.61% and the 1-year total shareholder return is down 10.12%, leaving recent momentum...

AutoNation Stock In Focus After Buyback Expansion

AutoNation reported Q3 2026 revenue of US$7,010.3 million with net income of US$162.3 million, while Q3 diluted EPS from continuing operations reached US$4.87 and nine month earnings from continuing operations totaled US$16.12 per share. Most of AutoNation's earnings now come from higher margin after sales and customer finance, and management backed that model with a long running buyback program that has retired about 175.3 million shares for roughly US$11.0b, alongside a fresh US$1.0b...

AutoNation (AN) Stock Could Trade Below Fair Value As 45% Gain Holds

AutoNation shares have delivered a 45.3% gain over the past 5 years, which puts fresh focus on whether the current US$179.64 price is properly grounded in the cash the business can generate. For anyone considering the stock today, the real issue is how that share performance lines up with the value suggested by its underlying cash flows. The 45.3% return over 5 years means long term holders have already seen a solid payoff. Fresh buyers need to think carefully about what future cash flows...
