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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "CarMax is one of the strongest operators in the used-car market, which helps it occupy a significant market share, among its peers. The company is also following an aggressive store expansion initiative to strengthen its presence and cater to a larger customer group. Moreover, it enhances shareholders value by undertaking frequent share buyback programs. Also, in the last three months, its shares have outperformed the industry it belongs to." (9/8/2017)
• 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)
