What are Wall Street analysts saying about Copart stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Copart stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, Copart’s earnings and revenues beat the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. Further, the figures witnessed year-over-year growth. Expanding facility networks to manage inflating volume along with increasing activity levels across all markets are driving the company. Further, acquisitions to grow its market presence will support its strengthening footprint in markets across the key markets. However, rising general and administrative expenses on frequent capacity expansion and acquisitions is a headwind. Also, Copart is struggling with high costs incurred in 2018 due to hurricane Harvey. Also, vulnerability to foreign currency fluctuations, owing to its presence outside the United States, is a concern." (5/27/2019)
- 2. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We believe the quarter should at least be within a $0.50-0.51 range as industry fundamentals remain strong in terms of total losses. Global inventory for CPRT at the end of Q1/19 decreased 1.5% YOY due to tough comps from CAT vehicles related to Hurricane Harvey. Factoring out CAT vehicles, global inventory growth totaled 10% including 10.4% in the U.S. and 14% in international markets." (2/19/2019)
