Copart, Inc. receives a Buy rating, supported by a strong moat, capital-light model, and a rock-solid, debt-free balance sheet with $5.2 billion in cash. Despite recent revenue and unit volume declines, CPRT's network effects, strategic land ownership, and financial flexibility underpin long-term competitive advantages. Short-term risks include market share loss to RB Global, Inc. (RBA) and weak quarterly figures, but historical outperformance and attractive valuation offer compelling entry points.
CPRT faces rising operating costs, potential inventory pressure from tech shifts and intense competition, raising concerns for investors.
CPRT tops Q1 earnings expectations as revenues inch higher year over year despite mixed performance versus estimates.
