ACV Auctions (ACVA) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

ACV Auctions operates a digital marketplace designed to streamline the wholesale used-vehicle auction process for independent dealerships and larger automotive groups. The platform enables dealers to participate in live, online auctions, submit real-time bids, and access guaranteed-sale programs that reduce the risk of inventory moving. By replicating the dynamics of in-lane bidding in a virtual environment, ACV Auctions connects sellers and buyers across a broad geographic footprint without the need for physical auction attendance.

In addition to its core marketplace, ACV Auctions offers a suite of software tools and data-driven services aimed at improving transparency and decision-making in the remarketing process. Sellers can generate detailed, standardized vehicle condition reports with high-resolution images, while buyers benefit from analytics dashboards that track pricing trends, vehicle history, and demand signals. The company also provides supplemental offerings such as floor-planning integrations and risk-management solutions to help clients optimize working capital and accelerate the remarketing cycle.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Buffalo, New York, ACV Auctions was established by Will Evans and George Chamoun with the goal of modernizing a traditionally paper-based wholesale landscape. Since its initial public listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021, the company has expanded its service footprint across the United States and into Canada. Under the continued leadership of its founders—Will Evans serving as Chief Executive Officer and George Chamoun as President—ACV Auctions remains focused on leveraging technology to drive efficiency, transparency and trust throughout the automotive remarketing ecosystem.
