JPMorgan
Overweight
maintain
$335 -> $315
2025-08-05
Reason
JPMorgan lowered the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $315 from $335 and keeps an Overweight 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.
Citi
Buy
maintain
$378 -> $383
2025-08-05
Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $383 from $378 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm also added an "upside 30-day catalyst watch" on Lithia, saying the recent share selloff is overdone and creates an opportunity. The firm expects Lithia to be active in acquisitions now that trade agreements have opened up the potential for deals. It adds that lowered interest rates, should the Federal Reserve begin to cut in September, is a positive for the entire auto dealer sector.
Guggenheim

Buy
maintain
$375 -> $383
2025-07-17
Reason
Guggenheim analyst Ronald Jewsikow raised the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $383 from $375 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is increasing estimates for its auto supplier and auto dealer coverage ahead of Q2 results from the group, telling investors in its preview that the impact of tariffs are having little impact on automotive demand, pricing or costs to date.
JPMorgan
Overweight -> NULL
downgrade
$345 -> $335
2025-07-16
Reason
JPMorgan lowered the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $335 from $345 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after the company announced preliminary Q2 results. The headline beat was largely driven by other income, with the core results weaker than expected, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan sees a negative read for the sector from the results.
Wells Fargo
Equal Weight
maintain
$305 -> $364
2025-07-09
Reason
Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $364 from $305 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm is updating its EPS estimates for the updated industry data and its revised U.S. sales outlook. Q2 metrics look strong with new and used volumes up and dealer GPUs up quarter-over-quarter, Wells adds, noting that Q2 year-over-year comparable sales benefit from the 2024 CDK disruption.
BofA
Buy
maintain
$430 -> $500
2025-06-17
Reason
BofA raised the firm's price target on Lithia & Driveway to $500 from $430 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.
