Reason

JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on AutoNation to $205 from $185 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the auto dealership group following the Q2 report. The risk/reward profiles in the group are more balanced following the recent selloffs, but re-rating potential is still "elusive" in the near-term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan has moved to a less negative stance on the sector on improving organic growth.

Reason

BofA analyst John Murphy raised the firm's price target on AutoNation to $255 from $225 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm tweaked its auto industry volume estimates for 2025 and 2026 slightly lower to account for pending disruptions from tariffs, potential rare earth shortages, and macro volatility, telling investors that it now sees 2025 and 2026 U.S. industry sales at 16.25M and 16.9M units and North America production at 15.75M and 16.4M units, respectively. Although at the current moment there are several headwinds on the macro level, the firm expects most of these obstacles to be resolved by the end of 2025 to early 2026, adds the analyst, who revised price targets across the firm's auto industry coverage based on estimate changes and rolled forward its valuation year to calendar 2026.
