Earnings Preview: Group 1 Automotive (GPI) Q2 Earnings Expected to Decline
GPI Group 1 Automotive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Group 1 Automotive (GPI - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 30. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis auto dealer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $10.79 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -6.3%.

Revenues are expected to be $5.65 billion, down 0.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.55% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Group 1 Automotive?For Group 1 Automotive, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.03%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Group 1 Automotive will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Group 1 Automotive would post earnings of $8.93 per share when it actually produced earnings of $8.66, delivering a surprise of -3.02%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Group 1 Automotive doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerPenske Automotive (PAG - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $3.38 for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of -10.6%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $7.93 billion, up 3.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Penske has been revised 0.2% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -0.74%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Penske will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Former Sterling McCall Ford location is among the dealerships now operating under the unified Group 1 brand

, /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing nationwide initiative to unify its extensive network of dealerships, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Houston-based automotive retailer with dealerships across the U.S. and U.K., today highlighted Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston, formerly Sterling McCall Ford, which has operated under its new name since November 3, 2025.

The southwest Houston dealership is one of a growing number of U.S. locations aligned under the initiative, giving customers a clearer connection to Group 1's scale, resources, and operational standards while preserving the local team, Ford expertise, and customer relationships that have served southwest Houston for decades.

Backed by the scale, resources, and expertise of an international automotive retailer, Group 1 Automotive remains focused on delivering the personalized service and community connections that define the local dealership experience. Learn more at Group1Auto.com.

Better Customer Experience

The transition from Sterling McCall Ford to Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston is part of a broader effort to create a more consistent customer experience across Group 1's U.S. retail network. The rebrand did not represent a change in ownership, staffing, product offerings, or day-to-day operations, and customers have continued to work with the same local professionals under the new name.

Group 1 Automotive has owned and operated the southwest Houston dealership for more than two decades. The new name formally connects the location to Group 1's national platform, giving local customers the benefit of a familiar southwest Houston dealership supported by the resources, technology, and operational discipline of a larger automotive group.

"Since taking our new name, our customers have found the same local team they know and trust, now with a clearer connection to the strength and resources of Group 1," said Sebastian Olszewski, General Manager of Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston. "The name on the building changed, but what matters here has not: a consistent, convenient, and transparent experience, whether someone is shopping for a new Ford, servicing their current vehicle, or considering a trade-in."

Continuity of Service and Local Commitment

Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston continues to serve customers from its existing location at 6445 Southwest Freeway in Houston, Texas, supporting drivers throughout southwest Houston, Bellaire, Sugar Land, and surrounding communities with new Ford vehicles, pre-owned vehicles, Ford service, parts, and maintenance support.

The dealership remains focused on the same local relationships that defined Sterling McCall Ford, while gaining a clearer connection to Group 1's broader retail network. Customers can expect continuity in the sales and service experience, along with the added benefit of a unified Group 1 brand that makes locations easier to recognize, find, and trust across markets.

Additional Customer Questions

Why did Sterling McCall Ford change its name to Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston?

Sterling McCall Ford became Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston on November 3, 2025 as part of Group 1 Automotive's effort to create a clearer, more consistent naming structure across its U.S. dealerships. The new name reflects the dealership's connection to Group 1 while continuing to serve customers in southwest Houston and the surrounding communities. As part of the Group 1 network — 250 dealerships offering 37 vehicle brands — the dealership connects customers to new and pre-owned sales, financing, service, parts, and collision support, with a consistent experience from transparent pricing to online scheduling at every Group 1 store.

How should shoppers compare Ford dealerships in a large market?

Useful comparison points include live inventory depth, pricing transparency, current incentives, customer reviews, and the service department's capabilities, including factory-trained technicians and parts availability. For commercial buyers, fleet programs and upfit support can also differentiate stores.

How can shoppers find a specific model or trim in stock?

Most dealership websites offer searchable live inventory filtered by model, trim, color, and features, and many allow shoppers to reserve an in-transit vehicle or request a locate from other stores in the dealer network. Contacting the dealership directly can also surface inbound inventory that has not yet been listed.

What are the benefits of a certified pre-owned vehicle?

Certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles generally undergo a multi-point factory inspection and reconditioning process and include limited warranty coverage beyond a standard used vehicle. Benefits may also include roadside assistance and a vehicle history report, with specific coverage varying by program and model year.

About Group 1 Automotive, Inc.

Group 1 owns and operates 250 automotive dealerships, 310 franchises, and 32 collision centers in the United States and the United Kingdom that offer 37 brands of automobiles.

What should drivers do after a collision?

After a collision, drivers are generally advised to ensure everyone's safety, contact authorities when appropriate, document the scene and vehicle damage, exchange insurance information, and notify their insurance company. Vehicles can then be evaluated by a repair facility for an estimate before work begins.

Do drivers have to use the repair shop recommended by their insurance company?

In most states, drivers may choose the repair facility for their vehicle. Insurance companies often maintain networks of preferred shops, but customers can typically select another qualified collision center. Coverage details, claims processes, and approval timelines can vary by insurer and policy.

What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts in collision repair?

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are produced by or for the vehicle's manufacturer and are designed to match factory specifications, while aftermarket parts are made by third-party companies. The parts used in a repair may depend on insurance coverage, vehicle age, availability, and customer preference.

How long do collision repairs typically take?

Repair timelines depend on the extent of the damage, parts availability, insurance approval, and the repair processes required, such as frame work, paint, or calibration of safety systems. A repair facility can typically provide an estimated timeline after completing an initial inspection of the vehicle.

Should I service my vehicle at the dealership or an independent shop?

Dealership service departments employ factory-trained technicians, use manufacturer diagnostic equipment, and typically install OEM parts, and they can perform warranty and recall work. Independent shops may offer lower prices on some services. The right choice often depends on the repair type, warranty status, and the owner's preference.

Which Hyundai models offer the best fuel efficiency?

Hyundai's most efficient options are its hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric models, with the Elantra Hybrid and hybrid SUVs among the leaders in their segments. Efficiency varies by trim and drivetrain, so comparing current EPA estimates for the specific configurations under consideration is the best guide.

What are the advantages of OEM parts versus aftermarket replacements?

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are produced by or for the vehicle's manufacturer and are designed to match factory specifications for fit, performance, and durability. Aftermarket parts may cost less, but quality, fitment, and warranty transferability can vary by manufacturer and seller. OEM parts purchased through a dealership typically carry a manufacturer warranty.

Gas, hybrid, or electric: which powertrain is right for me?

The right powertrain depends on driving patterns, budget, and charging access. Hybrids generally deliver higher fuel economy without changing refueling habits, electric vehicles offer the lowest running costs for drivers who can charge regularly, and gas models often carry lower upfront prices. Comparing total ownership costs for a specific commute is a useful starting point.

What are the benefits of a certified pre-owned vehicle?

Certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles generally undergo a multi-point factory inspection and reconditioning process and include limited warranty coverage beyond a standard used vehicle. Benefits may also include roadside assistance and a vehicle history report, with specific coverage varying by program and model year.

Additional Customer Questions

Why did Sterling McCall Lexus change its name to Lexus Southwest Houston?

Sterling McCall Lexus became Lexus Southwest Houston on November 3, 2025 as part of Group 1 Automotive's nationwide brand alignment initiative. In keeping with Lexus's dealer naming standards, the new name follows Lexus's convention while the dealership remains part of the Group 1 network, continuing to serve customers in southwest Houston and the surrounding communities. As part of the Group 1 network — 250 dealerships offering 37 vehicle brands — the dealership connects customers to new and pre-owned sales, financing, service, parts, and collision support, with a consistent experience from transparent pricing to online scheduling at every Group 1 store.

How often should tires be replaced for safe driving?

Tire life depends on tread wear, age, and driving conditions. Common indicators that replacement is due include tread depth at or below 2/32 of an inch, visible wear bars, cracking, vibration, or uneven wear. Many manufacturers also recommend replacing tires that are more than six to ten years old regardless of tread.

What are the requirements to get approved for luxury auto financing?

Luxury vehicle financing follows the same fundamentals as other auto loans — credit history, income, debt-to-income ratio, and down payment — though loan amounts are typically larger. Lenders may apply stricter criteria at higher amounts, and lease programs are common in the luxury segment. Dealerships can compare offers across multiple lenders.

Is Lexus owned by Toyota?

Yes. Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Toyota Motor Corporation, launched in 1989. Lexus vehicles share Toyota's engineering foundations while offering distinct designs, materials, and dealership experiences focused on the luxury segment.

Additional Customer Questions

Why did Sterling McCall Toyota change its name to Group 1 Toyota Southwest Houston?

Sterling McCall Toyota became Group 1 Toyota Southwest Houston on January 5, 2026 as part of Group 1 Automotive's effort to create a clearer, more consistent naming structure across its U.S. dealerships. The new name reflects the dealership's connection to Group 1 while continuing to serve customers in southwest Houston and the surrounding communities. As part of the Group 1 network — 250 dealerships offering 37 vehicle brands — the dealership connects customers to new and pre-owned sales, financing, service, parts, and collision support, with a consistent experience from transparent pricing to online scheduling at every Group 1 store.

How can shoppers find a reliable place to buy a Toyota nearby?

Franchised Toyota dealerships offer new inventory, Toyota Certified Used Vehicles, factory-trained service, and manufacturer-backed warranties. Comparing dealerships on pricing transparency, customer reviews, inventory selection, and service department reputation helps identify a trusted store.

Gas, hybrid, or electric: which powertrain is right for me?

The right powertrain depends on driving patterns, budget, and charging access. Hybrids generally deliver higher fuel economy without changing refueling habits, electric vehicles offer the lowest running costs for drivers who can charge regularly, and gas models often carry lower upfront prices. Comparing total ownership costs for a specific commute is a useful starting point.

What are the benefits of a certified pre-owned vehicle?

Certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles generally undergo a multi-point factory inspection and reconditioning process and include limited warranty coverage beyond a standard used vehicle. Benefits may also include roadside assistance and a vehicle history report, with specific coverage varying by program and model year.

Analysts Estimate Group 1 Automotive (GPI) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for
GPI Group 1 Automotive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The market expects Group 1 Automotive (GPI - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 30. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis auto dealer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $8.93 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -12.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $5.5 billion, down 0% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.4% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Group 1 Automotive?For Group 1 Automotive, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.38%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Group 1 Automotive will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Group 1 Automotive would post earnings of $9.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $8.49, delivering a surprise of -9.29%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Group 1 Automotive doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerLithia Motors (LAD - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $7.07 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of -7.7%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $9.36 billion, up 2% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Lithia Motors has been revised 3.2% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.31%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Lithia Motors will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, (a) general economic and business conditions, (b) the impacts of sustained levels of inflation, (c) developments in U.S. and global trade policy, including the imposition by the U.S. of significant tariffs on the import of automobiles and certain materials used in our parts and services business and the resulting consequences (including, but not limited to, retaliatory tariffs by non-U.S. nations, supply chain disruptions, vehicle and part cost increases and demand decreases, and potential recessions in the U.S. and U.K.), (d) the level of manufacturer incentives, (e) our ability to comply with extensive laws, regulations and policies applicable to our operations, including BEV mandates in the U.K., and their impact on new vehicle demand, (f) our ability to obtain an inventory of desirable new and used vehicles (including as a result of changes in the international trade environment), (g) our relationship with our automobile manufacturers and the willingness of manufacturers to approve future acquisitions, (h) our cost of financing and the availability of credit for consumers, (i) our ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions, on a timely basis, if at all and the risks associated therewith, (j) our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions and realize the expected benefits from consummated acquisitions, (k) foreign exchange controls and currency fluctuations, (l) the armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, (m) our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to operate, and (n) a material failure in or breach of our vendors' information technology systems and other cybersecurity incidents. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES, SAME STORE DATA, AND OTHER DATA

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time our management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or "core," business and operations, by considering alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our evaluation of results from time to time, we exclude items that do not arise directly from core operations, such as non-cash asset impairment charges, out-of-period adjustments, legal matters, gains and losses on dealership franchise or real estate transactions, and catastrophic events, such as hailstorms, hurricanes and snow storms. Because these non-core charges and gains materially affect the Company's financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. This includes evaluating measures such as adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and constant currency. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by, other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Our management also uses these adjusted measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors, and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because we believe investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance. The exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, we evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Same Store amounts presented include the results of dealerships for the identical months in each period presented in comparison, commencing with the first full month in which the dealership was owned by us and, in the case of dispositions, ending with the last full month it was owned by us. Same Store results also include the activities of our corporate headquarters.

Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.

Group 1 Automotive (GPI) Q1 Earnings and Revenues Lag Estimates
GPI Group 1 Automotive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Group 1 Automotive (GPI - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $8.66 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.93 per share. This compares to earnings of $10.17 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this auto dealer would post earnings of $9.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $8.49, delivering a surprise of -9.29%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

Group 1 Automotive, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, posted revenues of $5.41 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.76%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $5.51 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times 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.

Group 1 Automotive shares have lost about 11.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.2%.

What's Next for Group 1 Automotive?While Group 1 Automotive 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 Group 1 Automotive 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 $10.67 on $5.75 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $41.86 on $22.93 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 27% 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.

Titan Machinery (TITN - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2026.

This agriculture and construction equipment seller is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -5.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Titan Machinery's revenues are expected to be $493.22 million, down 17% from the year-ago quarter.

Group 1 Q1 Earnings Estimates Miss on Lower Volumes and Softer F&I
GPI Group 1 Automotive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways GPI Q1 EPS fell 14.8% to $8.66, missing estimates as revenues dipped 1.8% to $5.41B.Group 1 faced lower vehicle volumes, partly offset by higher pricing and resilient aftersales margins.GPI's parts and service gross profit rose 5%, while U.K. operations delivered record gross profit. Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (GPI - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $8.66 per share, which declined 14.8% year over year and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.93 by 3%. Total revenues were $5.41 billion, which decreased 1.8% year over year and came below the consensus mark of $5.50 billion by 1.76%.

Results reflected continued pressure on retail vehicle volumes, partly offset by steadier pricing and a resilient aftersales business. A key highlight was parts and service gross margin, which reached 56.8% in the quarter.

GPI’s Gross Profit Mix Leans on AftersalesGross profit totaled $877.9 million, edging down 1.6% from the year-ago quarter. The performance underscored how aftersales continues to stabilize results as vehicle retail activity normalizes.

Parts and service gross profit rose 5% year over year to $400 million, aided by a 170-basis-point improvement in parts and service gross margin to 56.8%.

Group 1 Sees Lower Volumes as Pricing Stays FirmOn the retail new-vehicle side, sales fell 4.4% from the prior-year quarter’s level to $2.56 billion, units sold fell 6.6% year over year to 52,398, while gross profit per retail unit slipped 2.5% to $3,296. The average selling price per new vehicle increased 5.1% to $52,415, partially cushioning the revenue impact from lower volumes.

Used-vehicle retail sales rose 1.1% from the year-ago period to $1.77 billion. Units sold declined 4.4% to 56,985, and used retail gross profit per unit decreased 1.9% to $1,540. Still, the average used-vehicle selling price rose 6% to $31,204, reflecting a higher price environment even as unit counts moderated.

Used-vehicle wholesale sales declined 1.4% year over year to $149.5 million. The unit generated gross profit of $1.5 million, flat year over year. In the Parts and Service business, the top line increased 1.8% to $704.4 million. Revenues from the Finance, Insurance and Other business were $215.9 million, down 4.6% from the year-ago quarter’s level.

Group 1 Automotive Inc (GPI) Shares Fall 3.7% -- What GF Score of 86 Tells Investors
GPI Group 1 Automotive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
On May 19, 2026, Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI shares fell 3.7% to a current price of $305.47. This decline is part of a broader downward trend, with the stock down 22.2% year-to-date and 30.4% over the past year. The shares have traded in a 52-week range of $292.44 to $488.39.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $305.47 is 28.0% below the GF Value™ estimate of $424.37.GF Score™ of 86/100 indicates a strong overall performance based on key financial metrics.Notable signal: No insider transactions have occurred in the last 3 months. Is GPI Overvalued or Undervalued? Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI appears to be undervalued according to the GF Value™ which estimates a fair value of $424.37. This suggests that the stock is currently trading at a significant discount of 28.0% compared to its intrinsic value. The margin of safety provided by this undervaluation may present a considerable opportunity for investors looking for growth in the automotive sector. However, potential investors should exercise caution as the undervaluation must be weighed against market conditions and the company's financial health. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.

Additionally, the GF Valuation label indicates that GPI is "Modestly Undervalued," further reinforcing the view that current pricing does not fully reflect the company's underlying value. Investors may find this an attractive entry point, though they should remain aware of market volatility and economic factors that could impact future performance.

How Does GPI's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 11.7x 6.5x Forward P/E 7.2x N/A Currently, GPI's P/E ratio of 11.7x is 80% above its 5-year median P/E of 6.5x, suggesting that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. The forward P/E of 7.2x indicates a potential for earnings growth that may not be fully reflected in the current valuation. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, indicating that while the stock may be undervalued, it is also trading at higher multiples than its historical averages.

What Does GPI's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 86 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 9/10 Valuation 8/10 Momentum 4/10 The GF Score™ of 86/100 indicates a strong overall performance for GPI based on the five key aspects of financial analysis. The strongest areas are Growth (9/10) and Profitability (8/10), suggesting that the company has strong potential for earnings and operational efficiency. However, the Financial Strength rating of 5/10 and the Momentum score of 4/10 highlight areas where the company may face challenges, particularly in maintaining stable financial health and positive stock price momentum.

What Are Insiders Doing with GPI Stock? In the last three months, there have been no insider transactions reported for Group 1 Automotive Inc. This lack of insider activity may suggest a neutral sentiment among insiders regarding the stock's current valuation and future potential. Absence of buying or selling can indicate that insiders are uncertain or do not find the current price appealing enough to act.

What This Means for Investors Based on the analysis, Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI is currently undervalued according to GF Value™, presenting a potential investment opportunity within the automotive sector. However, investors should consider the overall market conditions and the company's financial strength before making investment decisions.

Is GPI Overvalued or Undervalued? Currently, Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI is trading at $316.34, which is significantly below its GF Value™ estimate of $425.27. This indicates that the stock is 25.6% undervalued, presenting potential opportunities for investors looking for bargains in the automotive sector. The GF Valuation label classifies GPI as modestly undervalued, suggesting that there is a margin of safety for potential investors. However, it is crucial to consider that a modest undervaluation does not guarantee immediate price appreciation, as market conditions and company performance can influence the stock's movement.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The current undervaluation signals a potential opportunity, but caution should be exercised as market volatility and broader economic conditions can impact stock prices in the near term.

Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 12.1x 6.5x (5-Year Median) Forward P/E 7.5x - The current P/E (TTM) ratio of 12.1x is substantially above the 5-year median P/E of 6.5x, indicating that GPI is trading at a higher valuation relative to its historical averages. This P/E analysis corroborates the GF Value™ verdict that GPI is undervalued, as the higher current P/E could suggest a market correction is needed to bring valuations in line with historical averages.

However, the Financial Strength score of 5/10 raises concerns about the company’s overall financial stability. Additionally, the low Momentum rank of 4/10 suggests that the stock may face headwinds in the short term, which could impact its price performance moving forward.

What Are Insiders Doing with GPI Stock? In the past three months, there have been no reported insider transactions for Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI . This lack of insider activity may suggest that company executives are either confident in the current valuation or are waiting for more favorable market conditions before making moves with their stock holdings. Without insider buying, it can be challenging to gauge the sentiment from those within the company regarding its future performance.

What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Group 1 Automotive Inc GPI is currently undervalued, offering a potential opportunity for investors looking to enter the stock at a discount. However, given the recent trends in price performance and the concerns around Financial Strength and Momentum, caution is warranted when considering investment in GPI.
