Analysts Estimate Group 1 Automotive (GPI) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for

I prefer a concentrated portfolio with 6 to 10 holdings, accepting more company-specific risk for potentially higher returns as a young, experienced investor. Despite selling Group 1 Automotive, I maintain a 'strong buy' rating due to its low multiples and rapid expansion, expecting further upside. Group 1 Automotive's revenue continues to grow, but profits and cash flows have weakened due to volatile pricing and reduced profit margins in vehicle sales.
