Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Digital TransitionCars.com is a comprehensive platform that is well-positioned to help dealers succeed as the industry inexorably moves more towards digital.
Market LeadershipCars.com became the number one franchise dealer website provider in Canada due to better product performance and premium features.
Revenue GrowthOEM and National revenue growth was strong at 16.94% to $17 million generating the highest revenue for this segment over three years.
Bears Say
Customer BaseCars.com ended Q3/24 with 19,255 dealer customers, down 135 dealers sequentially.
Growth VisibilityOrganic growth remains weak, particularly in the context of peers, and visibility around ancillary product uptake and growth re-acceleration is needed for re-rating.
Sales MomentumIn Q2/24, Cars.com lost considerable sales momentum stemming from the CDK cyber incident as the company is over indexed to franchised dealerships that rely on CDK.
