AutoNation stays a 'Strong Buy' despite 14% stock drop, backed by steady service profits and buybacks.

AutoNation's stock fell 14% over the past year due to high interest rates and weaker vehicle sales, but its Q3 results showed resilience with a 2% rise in adjusted EPS and strong service revenue and profits. Service operations contribute over half of the company's gross profit, making it less vulnerable to economic downturns. Trading at 8 times earnings, AutoNation's aggressive share buybacks and stable service margins support a fair value above $200, indicating potential upside for investors.

AutoNation's recent performance is presented here with Pluang market data as of Oct 30, 2026 22:41 WIB. Among 134 Consumer Cyclical-sector US stocks tradable on Pluang, 37 rose and 95 fell today. Notable price changes include TDUP at USD 2.11 with a 1-day change of -4.95%, VSXY at USD 94.40 with 0% Sell / 100% Buy order activity, and RIVN at USD 11.91 with a 1-day change of +4.02%.
