Bulls say
Cars.com Inc. has demonstrated a robust performance, with OEM and National segment revenues increasing by 15.2% year-over-year, reflecting a strong demand from automakers as inventory levels rise. The company's revenue for Q4/24 was reported at $180.4 million, with a slight year-over-year increase, alongside a notable surge in free cash flow attributable to a $15 million rise in adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the company observed a 23% increase in the number of vehicles acquired per dealer post-appraisal, indicating a strengthening operational efficiency and market adaptability.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Cars.com Inc., primarily driven by declining key performance indicators. Average monthly unique visitors fell to 23.1 million, a decrease of 4.9% year-over-year, and traffic visits decreased by 7%, signaling a reduction in audience engagement. Additionally, the company's subscription-based dealer revenue and dealer count have both declined, reflecting ongoing pressures on dealership profitability, ultimately impacting the firm's revenue estimates adversely.
