Reason
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco assumed coverage of CarMax with an Equal Weight rating and $35 price target. The firm adjusted ratings in the autos and shared mobility group as part of its 2026 outlook following a change in analysts. Morgan Stanley is "leaning more cautious" into next year, saying the electric vehicle "winter" will sustain through 2026. This is counterbalanced by a "moderately more positive" outlook on internal combustion engines and hybrids, the analyst tells investors.

Barclays initiated coverage of CarMax with an Underweight rating and $28 price target. The firm rolled out coverage on the auto retail sector with a neutral view. Sector fundamentals are mixed, but the dealers offer "resiliency and strong shareholder returns," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays is constructive on the growth outlook for the digital auction marketplaces as it sees the companies gaining shared from physical auctions. The firm cites uncertainty over CarMax's strategy for the Underweight rating.
