Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about CarMax stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "CarMax has outperformed the Zacks-categorized Retail/Wholesale-Auto Parts industry in the last three months. Lately, both the quarterly and the yearly earnings estimates are moving up. CarMax’s focus on the used-car market helps it to outperform the industry. The company is among the strongest operators in its peer group. Also, its aggressive store-expansion is expected to benefit the company. Moreover, share repurchases will boost shareholder returns. However, the average selling prices in used vehicle as well as wholesale vehicle segment has been declining. The increase in the supply of used vehicles is expected to further lower prices."

• 2. Wedbush analysts commented, " In this report, we explore the implications of a weakening credit environment on KMX, with a focus on the CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) business accounting for nearly 40% of operating income. Not only is KMX's core business heavily dependent on availability of adequately priced credit, but CAF adds substantial risk to the company's profile particularly as one considers that ~30% of its loans are non-prime and credit quality is weakening. With used car price declines accelerating along with increasing default rates for subprime loans and rising interest rates, we expect credit availability to tighten and CAF credit losses to rise. While retail sales trends may have been robust in recent months, and the company is now annualizing the pullback of Santander Consumer USA (SC), we believe these credit-oriented headwinds will weigh on KMX earnings over the next two years. We tick down our 2017 estimates further below consensus and reiterate our NEUTRAL rating." (3/27/2017)
