AN AutoNation
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways AutoNation's record Parts & Service profits and growing finance earnings provide recurring growth drivers.AN is investing in digital capabilities while repurchasing shares to support per-share earnings.High debt, weaker new-vehicle profitability and elevated SG&A remain key challenges. AutoNation (AN - Free Report) is set to gain from record aftersales profits, expanding finance earnings, digital investments and share repurchases. However, high debt limits financial flexibility, while weaker new-vehicle profitability and elevated operating costs remain concerns.

Let’s dig deeper and see why this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock is worth retaining in your portfolio.

Aftersales Contribution & Investment in Technology Aid ANAftersales remains AutoNation’s largest gross profit contributor and provides a recurring earnings stream across vehicle cycles. In the second quarter of 2026, Parts & Service gross profit reached a record $607 million, up 1% year over year, while customer-pay gross profit rose 7% in total and 4% on a same-store basis. Same-store franchise technician headcount rose more than 2%, and the company expects technician capacity and customer retention to be key to sustaining mid-single-digit aftersales gross profit growth over time.

AutoNation Finance continues to expand its earnings contribution as the loan portfolio scales and external funding increases. In second-quarter 2026, originations were $485 million, and the portfolio reached $2.67 billion, up about 52% year over year. Quarterly profit rose to $11 million from $2 million, while first-half profit reached $20 million versus $2 million a year earlier. Finance penetration was 11% of total vehicle sales and 18% of financed sales.

AutoNation continues to invest in digital and omni-channel capabilities as customers increasingly use online resources for vehicle research and purchasing. AutoNation Express supports online buying and selling, while its minority investment in TrueCar broadens digital reach. AN is also adding functionality across research, purchase and vehicle-fulfillment channels to match changing customer preferences. These investments complement store execution, and second-quarter 2026 market share remained consistent with the first quarter in the markets AutoNation serves.

AutoNation continues to deploy capital toward share repurchases, which remains an important lever for per-share earnings and boosts shareholder confidence. From Jan. 1 to July 29, 2026, AutoNation repurchased 2.3 million shares. As of June 30, 2026, $618.9 million remained authorized under the current program.

High Debt & Operating Cost Ail AutoNationAutoNation’s balance sheet remains leveraged as capital deployment expands. As of June 30, 2026, non-vehicle debt was $4.4 billion, cash was $53 million and liquidity was about $1 billion. The firm’s long-term debt-to-capital ratio stands at 0.72 compared to the industry’s 0.27. High debt restricts the firm’s financial flexibility.

New-vehicle economics remain exposed to vehicle costs, manufacturer incentives and changes in powertrain mix even as sequential profitability has stabilized. In second-quarter 2026, new-vehicle gross profit per unit was $2,381, down 15% from $2,785 a year earlier, while new units fell 4%. The decline reflected higher average vehicle costs and lower manufacturer incentives, with BEV sales down more than 30% year over year. Premium Luxury new units fell 4%, while Domestic units declined 12%. The company expects prior-year tariff and EV-credit comparison effects to ease in the second half, but sustaining margins still depends on vehicle costs and mix.

Operating efficiency remains below the company’s long-term target despite sequential progress. Adjusted SG&A was 68.2% of gross profit in the second quarter of 2026, up from the 66% to 67% target range and 66.2% a year earlier. Advertising costs rose to support vehicle sales, while first-half spending also reflected customer experience investments and higher self-insured losses.

Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates  AN has underperformed the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry in the last six months. Its shares have gained 1.8% compared to the industry’s growth of 14.3%.

Key Takeaways AutoNation's Q2 adjusted EPS rose 1.8% to $5.56, beating the $5.43 consensus estimate by 2.4%.After-Sales gross profit hit a record $607.1M, becoming AutoNation's largest gross profit contributor.AutoNation expects second-half adjusted EPS growth on After-Sales, CFS, finance growth and fewer shares. AutoNation, Inc. (AN - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $5.56 per share, up 1.8% from $5.46 a year ago. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.43 by 2.4%. Results benefited from record After-Sales gross profit and stronger Customer Financial Services profitability. Revenues of $6.93 billion declined 0.6% year over year and missed the consensus estimate of $6.97 billion by 0.6%.

AN's After-Sales Business Delivers Record ProfitParts and service revenues increased 3.4% year over year to $1.26 billion. Gross profit rose 1.4% to a record $607.1 million, making After-Sales the largest contributor to AutoNation's gross profit.

Customer-pay revenues increased 7% year over year, while wholesale parts revenues advanced 16%. Customer-pay repair orders rose 5% and warranty repair orders increased 8%. Parts and service gross margin declined to 48.1% from 49%, mainly reflecting a higher mix of lower-margin wholesale parts.

AutoNation's Finance Businesses Show MomentumCustomer Financial Services gross profit totaled $357.6 million, down 2.7% from $367.7 million a year earlier as lower retail vehicle volumes offset stronger per-unit profitability. CFS gross profit per vehicle retailed climbed 3.2% to $2,799 from $2,712. The improvement came despite an approximately 2% drag from higher AutoNation Finance originations.

AutoNation Finance, meanwhile, generated income of $10.7 million, up from $2 million a year ago. The portfolio reached $2.67 billion, increasing about 52% from $1.76 billion, while quarterly originations totaled $485 million. AN Finance accounted for 11% of total vehicle sales and 18% of financed vehicle sales, highlighting the growing contribution of the captive finance platform.

AN's Vehicle Volumes Remain Under PressureNew vehicle revenues declined 3.1% to $3.29 billion as retail unit sales fell 4% to 63,240. New vehicle gross profit per unit dropped 14.5% to $2,381, reflecting higher vehicle costs. Much of the volume decline was due to weaker battery-electric vehicle sales and difficult comparisons against tariff-related demand pull-forward in 2025.

Used vehicle revenues increased 1.3% to $2.01 billion despite a 7.5% decline in retail unit sales to 64,521. Retail used vehicle revenue per unit increased 8.4% to $28,674, while gross profit per unit slipped 2.5% to $1,582.

AN's Gross Profit and Adjusted Income DeclineTotal gross profit fell 3.5% year over year to $1.23 billion, with gross margin narrowing to 17.8% from 18.3%. Adjusted operating income declined 7% to $343.1 million from $369.3 million.

Adjusted SG&A expenses represented 68.2% of gross profit, improving sequentially from 69.8% in the first quarter but remaining above 66.2% a year ago. Management expects the ratio to reach its 66%-67% target range on a run-rate basis by year-end.

AutoNation's Cash Flow Funds Acquisitions and BuybacksAdjusted free cash flow totaled $439.2 million in the first half of 2026, representing 125% of adjusted net income. AutoNation spent $316.5 million on acquisitions and $126 million on capital expenditures during the period.

The company also repurchased 2.3 million shares for $457 million in the first half.  As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $53.3 million. Non-vehicle debt was $4.43 billion. AutoNation had about $1 billion of liquidity, including $0.9 billion available under its revolving credit facility, net of commercial paper borrowings.

AN Expects Earnings Growth in the Second HalfManagement expects after-sales customer-pay gross profit to maintain mid-single-digit growth, supported by customer retention and technician capacity. With stable vehicle unit profitability, continued CFS and After-Sales growth, AutoNation Finance expansion and a lower share count, management expects adjusted earnings per share to grow year over year in the second half of 2026.

AN stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Automotive retailer AutoNation has found that the industry and consumers are “in good shape,” despite declines in sales volume and profit that the company saw in the second quarter, AutoNation CEO Michael Manley said during a Friday (July 31) earnings call.

“Consumer sentiment is improving every month,” Manley said. “Our banking partners are reporting 20% increases in applications and originations, and their delinquencies continue to improve.”

During the second quarter, AutoNation’s revenue was down 1% year over year. The company saw year-over-year declines of 2% in same-store revenue, 5% in same-store gross profit, 5% in same-store new vehicle retail unit sales and 8% in same-store used vehicle retail unit sales, according to a Friday earnings release.

In a presentation released Friday, AutoNation said the company faced headwinds related to tariffs and battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales. New vehicles sales were impacted by the “tariff pull-ahead” seen in April 2025 and the BEV subsidies that were in place through September 2025.

During an earlier earnings call, in February, Manley said AutoNation and others in the industry had seen shoppers race to buy vehicles in early 2025 before the implementation of tariffs and the expiration of electric vehicle tax credits. That created a “strong pull ahead” that affected vehicle sales in subsequent quarters, Manley said.

During Friday’s earning call, Manley said that during the second quarter, BEV sales were down by more than 30% year over year.

“We’re looking forward to the second half when the volume comparison headwinds from 2025 relating to tariffs and EV credits lapse,” Manley said.

Looking ahead, AutoNation expects to see consumer and industry sales remain resilient, new and used vehicle profitability stabilize, and its market share grow, according to the presentation.

Manley said during the call that the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) is “at a healthy place” and consumers are “incredibly resilient given everything that is going on.” He added that affordability levels are the best they’ve been in a few years. While not back to pre-COVID levels, affordability is “significantly improved” over the past 24 to 48 months.

“That was largely stable Q1 to Q2, and I think it’s going to be stable as we get into Q3 and Q4, which means, from my point of view, the underlying SAAR, absent a shock that none of us can see, I think is going to be in a good place as we get into the second half,” Manley said.

AutoNation (AN - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $5.56 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.43 per share. This compares to earnings of $5.46 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +2.39%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this auto retailer would post earnings of $4.71 per share when it actually produced earnings of $4.69, delivering a surprise of -0.42%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

AutoNation, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, posted revenues of $6.93 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $6.97 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

AutoNation shares have added about 4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.7%.

What's Next for AutoNation?While AutoNation has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for AutoNation was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $5.62 on $7.17 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $21.41 on $27.95 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales is currently in the bottom 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Titan Machinery (TITN - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026.

This agriculture and construction equipment seller is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.33 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -26.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Titan Machinery's revenues are expected to be $489.03 million, down 10.5% from the year-ago quarter.
