The company reported a trailing twelve-month revenue of $20.32B with a net income of $1.41B and an EBITDA of $2.16B. The substantial difference between the gross revenue figure and the net income reveals a cost structure where approximately 93.1% of revenue is consumed by costs of goods sold and operating expenses before reaching the bottom line. Free cash flow stood at $249.88M, indicating that after capital expenditures, the company retains cash that can be utilized for strategic initiatives, debt reduction, or potential share buybacks, though the absolute amount is modest relative to total revenue. Profitability is reflected in a Gross Margin of 20.6%, an Operating Margin of 7.6%, and a Profit Margin of 6.9%, suggesting that the business model relies on high volume to cover significant operational leverage. The balance sheet shows a Cash position of $2.81B against Total Debt of $5.59B, resulting in a Debt to Equity ratio of 133.12%, which characterizes a highly leveraged financial structure typical for the automotive retail sector. Liquidity is strong, evidenced by a Current Ratio of 4.31, signifying that current assets are more than four times current liabilities, ensuring ample capacity to meet short-term obligations. Return on Equity stands at 67.9% and Return on Assets at 10.9%, metrics that reveal exceptional management effectiveness in generating profits from shareholders' equity and utilizing the asset base efficiently despite the high debt load.
मूल्यांकन आकलन
The valuation metrics show a Trailing P/E ratio of 38.78 and a Forward P/E of 30.99. The difference between these two multiples implies that the market expects earnings to grow significantly in the coming year, as the forward multiple is lower than the trailing multiple. The Price to Book ratio is 13.51, indicating that the market values the company at more than 13 times its tangible book value, reflecting a premium assigned to its brand and technology assets. Alternative valuation measures include a Price to Sales ratio of 3.55 and an EV/EBITDA of 23.26, which suggest the stock is priced based on sales growth potential and earnings power rather than just current book value. Regarding trading range, the 52-Week High is $486.89 and the 52-Week Low is $171.78. Without a specific current share price provided in the data, the precise percentage deviation from the high or low cannot be calculated, but the wide range demonstrates significant intrayear volatility. The Beta is 3.61, which means the stock price is expected to fluctuate 3.61 times as much as the broader market, indicating extremely high systematic risk and sensitivity to market sentiment shifts.
Growth & Income
Revenue Growth over the last year was 58.0%, while Earnings Growth was 946.7%. This divergence indicates that earnings are expanding at a rate vastly exceeding revenue growth, driven by significant margin expansion or one-time gains rather than just top-line scaling. The company does not pay dividends, as evidenced by a Dividend Yield of N/A and a Payout Ratio of 0.0%. This lack of distribution implies that the company retains all net income to fund operations, reduce debt, or reinvest into growth initiatives rather than returning capital to shareholders. The overall growth and income profile is characterized by aggressive expansion in profitability and revenue, coupled with a zero-dividend policy that prioritizes internal capital generation and leverage management over shareholder cash distributions.
