Jenny Harrington, CEO, Gilman Hill Asset Management CarMax KMX-N BUY Jun 20, 2025

They can beat earnings when they report tomorrow. The industry has been hurt because the price of used cars was getting so high, but has been coming down the last two quarters. The industry will start to accelerate in volumes.
