Overweight
Reason
JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on Cars.com to $16 from $15 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm reduced franchise dealer estimates into the Q3 reports to reflect electrical vehicle mix and headwinds in the UK. The sector has "little room" for share re-ratings in the near-term and the risk/rewards are balanced in the medium-term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan established December 2026 prices target December 2025 previously.

UBS lowered the firm's price target on Cars.com to $11 from $12 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Cars.com reported "steady" results, but a slow inflection on growth, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
JPMorgan upgraded Cars.com to Overweight from Neutral with an unchanged price target of $14. The firm prefers business-to-consumer auto retail names over business-to-business heading into the Q2 reports. It cites valuation and reduced cyclical risk for the upgrade of Cars.com. With new vehicle supply continuing to grow and the backdrop likely to get more competitive for dealers in a modestly weaker demand backdrop, there is less risk to revisions for the company, contends JPMorgan.

Reason
UBS lowered the firm's price target on Cars.com to $12 from $13 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Cars.com beat Q1 EBITDA expectations amid better margins, but the stock sold off on the removal of 2025 sales guidance given the uncertainty on the magnitude and timing of spending by their customers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm remains on the sidelines.

Reason
B. Riley lowered the firm's price target on Cars.com to $21 from $24 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported a mixed Q1, with revenue modestly below consensus while EBITDA was higher, benefiting from cost discipline, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Cars.com suspended its revenue outlook for 2025 due to the uncertainty created by automotive tariffs/macro and the impact on ad spending by car makers and dealers.
