MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Copart
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Copart, Inc.:

Copart, Inc. is currently trading at $27.65, which is near its 52-week low of $26.74, presenting a potential entry point for value investors given that the stock has a P/E ratio of 17.84, which is reasonable for a company with a net margin of 31.81%.
The company is executing a strategic acquisition of ACV Auctions Inc. for $10.50 per share, a move that analysts suggest could drive a return to growth by expanding Copart's market share in the vehicle auction sector.
Institutional investors are increasing their stakes in the company, with Rockland Trust Co. raising its holdings by 11.0% and Confluence Investment Management LLC boosting its position by 44.2% in the third quarter, indicating strong confidence from professional money managers.
Wall Street analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating with an average price target of $37.80, suggesting significant upside potential from the current price, with recent upgrades from firms like JPMorgan Chase and BNP Paribas Exane.
Copart, Inc. demonstrated strong financial performance in the most recent quarter with revenue of $1.15 billion, exceeding analyst expectations, and maintaining a return on equity of 15.93%, which reflects efficient use of shareholder capital.

Copart
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Copart, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has experienced a significant decline from its 52-week high of $45.89 to the current price of $27.65, indicating a downward trend that has persisted through multiple 52-week low events in 2026.
Copart, Inc. missed its earnings per share estimate in the most recent quarter, reporting $0.35 against a consensus of $0.38, which may signal challenges in maintaining profit margins despite revenue growth.
CEO Jeffrey Liaw has been consistently selling shares, including a recent sale of 27,745 shares in July 2026, which could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term performance or a desire to diversify personal holdings.
Short interest in the stock has been fluctuating and remains significant, with 33,967,761 shares shorted as of the latest record date, suggesting that a portion of the market is betting against the company's future performance.
The company's revenue growth has slowed, with year-over-year growth of only 2.4% in the most recent quarter, which is lower than the 2.1% growth seen in the previous quarter, potentially indicating a maturing market or increased competition.
