Carvana (CVNA) has experienced a dramatic transformation since its IPO nearly nine years ago, with its stock plummeting to an all-time low of $3.72 in December 2022 before soaring to a record high of $478.45 in January 2026. This recovery was fueled by soaring profits, inclusion in the S&P 500, and a doubling of total units sold from 2020 to 2025, alongside a significant revenue increase from $5.6 billion to $20.3 billion. Despite recent macroeconomic challenges, including rising interest rates, Carvana has stabilized its margins and maintained profitability since 2023.
The current trading price of around $310 suggests that the stock may still be undervalued, especially considering analysts project robust revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth rates of 26% and 28%, respectively, through 2028. Carvana’s ambitious goal to sell 3 million cars annually by 2030-2035 at improved margins indicates a strong long-term growth trajectory.
Investors may find the recent pullback an opportune moment to buy, as the stock is trading at just 16 times this year’s adjusted EBITDA, positioning it as an attractive investment for those looking to capitalize on its growth potential.
