TOP PICK
Feb 18, 2021
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly SAH operates car dealerships. Its EchoPark used car business has benefitted from the pandemic, where sales were up 25% over the year and prices rose. They have plans to expand this segment further. New car dealerships held steady as lower volumes were offset by higher prices as well. Margins overall hit a record high at 68%, allowing EPS to beat expectations, up 52% on the year. It pays a small dividend backed by an expected payout ratio of 15% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $30, looking to achieve $51.50 -- 35% potential upside. Yield 0.97% (Analysts’ price target is $51.14)
$39.860
