CVNA stock is down 10.04% at $59.67 as of the latest trade, reflecting investor disappointment with the company’s full-year guidance despite strong second-quarter results. The stock opened with a 6.5% gap down and has traded in a wide range throughout the session. The move comes after Carvana reported record retail unit sales and profitability for the quarter but provided guidance that fell short of expectations.

What Happened

Carvana reported second-quarter results that beat revenue and profit expectations, marking its most profitable quarter ever. However, the company’s full-year guidance disappointed investors, leading to a sharp sell-off. The stock opened at $61.98 and fell to a session low of $56.12 before recovering slightly. Analysts from Barclays, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley all cut their price targets for the stock in response to the guidance. Meanwhile, recent insider transactions show multiple executives selling shares, including the CFO, COO, and VP of Accounting.

What The Data Shows

The intraday session has been volatile, with volume at 7.4 million shares, 0.6 times the 3-month daily average. The stock has traded between $56.12 and $62.64, with a last price of $59.87. Over the last eight sessions, the stock had risen 2.8% from $64.54 to $66.32. The 52-week range is $54.46 to $97.38. Recent unusual options activity includes $1.4 million in call premiums and $4.2 million in put premiums, with the largest single print at $1.1 million. Insider filings over the last 90 days show 11 sales totaling $19.3 million and one buy for $2,000.

What To Watch

Carvana has not scheduled an earnings date for the current quarter. Investors will likely monitor coverage breadth and analyst reactions as the stock continues to trade below its 52-week high.
