Buy

$34.70

34.24%

Citi points to mixed trends in CAR Group's US Trader Interactive business, with web traffic improving, supported in part by increased referral traffic, while dealer numbers, listings and hiring activity have softened.

The Middle East conflict coincided with the start of the key selling season, resulting in a more cautious outlook from OEMs and dealers, the analysts note.

The broker trims its earnings forecasts to reflect slower dealer growth, FX headwinds and a more cautious outlook, partially offset by lower operating cost growth.

Despite near-term pressures, ongoing strategic progress is anticipated, particularly in dealer software expansion.

Citi lowers its target to $34.70 from $39.65 and maintains a Buy rating.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 88.30 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 101.80 cents.
