Carvana reported Q2 earnings that beat expectations but revealed shrinking gross profit per unit and declining adjusted EBITDA margins. The company’s full-year 2026 profit forecast disappointed investors, projecting adjusted EBITDA between $2.70 billion and $3.0 billion with margins dropping to 10.2%. These results challenge Carvana’s previous growth and margin expansion thesis, leading to a downgrade to neutral. The current valuation multiples appear less justified amid weakening profitability and lack of margin improvement.
