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.

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Copart pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Copart
Bull Case

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

Copart, Inc. has initiated a $1.9 billion tender offer to acquire ACV Auctions at $10.50 per share, a strategic move that analysts believe will drive the company's return to growth by expanding its market share in the vehicle auction sector.
The stock is currently trading at $27.59, which is near its 52-week low of $26.81, offering a potential entry point for investors given that the consensus price target from analysts is significantly higher at $37.375.
Wall Street maintains a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating for the stock, with recent upgrades from firms like JPMorgan Chase and Barrington Research, which raised their price targets to $40.00, indicating strong institutional confidence in the company's long-term value.
Institutional interest in the stock has increased, with QRG Capital Management Inc. lifting its stake by 122.9% in the second quarter and Bank of America Corp DE establishing a new position worth approximately $191.35 million, suggesting that large investors are accumulating shares.
Copart, Inc. demonstrated pricing power during its recent earnings call, reporting revenue of $1.15 billion which exceeded the consensus estimate of $1.14 billion, indicating that the company can maintain profitability even amid volume pressures.

Copart
Bear Case

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

The company recently missed analyst expectations for earnings per share, reporting $0.35 for the quarter compared to the consensus estimate of $0.38, which reflects a decline from the $0.41 reported in the same period last year.
CEO Jeffrey Liaw has been consistently selling shares, including a recent sale of 27,745 shares on July 28, 2026, which represents a 21.78% decrease in his personal position and may signal insider caution regarding the stock's near-term performance.
The stock has experienced a significant decline from its 52-week high of $45.89 to its current price of $27.59, indicating a sustained downward trend that has resulted in a loss of nearly 40% of its value over the past year.
Short interest in the stock has been elevated, with 33,967,761 shares shorted as of the most recent record date, representing a short percentage of float of approximately 4.06%, which suggests that a portion of the market is betting against the company's future performance.
Some analysts have downgraded their outlook, with HSBC cutting its rating from "buy" to "hold" and Weiss Ratings reaffirming a "sell" rating, citing concerns about slower earnings per share growth and margin compression that have altered the investment story.
