Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Sonic Automotive Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month price target by $15 to $85, based on a 2027 P/E of 10.8x, a premium to the stock's 10-year average forward P/E of 9.4x. We increase our adjusted EPS estimates to $7.05 from $7.00 for 2026 and to $7.85 from $7.60 for 2027. Following a much better-than-expected Q1 earnings release, we are raising our estimates and price target, but maintaing our Hold view on the shares. SAH posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.62 vs. $1.48 (+9%), well ahead of the $1.40 consensus. Revenue rose 1% to $3.69B ($40M below consensus) but gross margin expanded 70 bps to 16.2% (50 bps ahead of consensus). The quarter benefited from record adjusted EBITDA in the EchoPark segment (used vehicle sales). In our view, this was a solid release, highlighted by much better-than-expected margin performance and a notable increase in share repurchase activity, as SAH reduced its outstanding share count by a staggering 6% during Q1 (more than it bought back in all of 2025). We remain at Hold on valuation and a balanced risk/reward.

Auto Dealers Seen Facing Weaker Q1 on Weather Disruption, BofA Says

The automotive dealership industry is expected to see a weaker Q1 performance due to weather disruptions and softer vehicle sales, BofA Securities said in a note on Monday.The firm said Q1 earnings per share estimates for Asbury Automotive (ABG), AutoNation (AN), Group 1 Automotive (GPI), Penske Automotive (PAG), Sonic Automotive (SAH), and Lithia Motors (LAD) have been reduced by an average of 13%. This mainly reflects weather disruptions in late January and February, which affected both vehicle sales and parts and service.Same-store new unit sales are now expected to decline by 5.4% on average, also due to tough comparisons from pre-buying ahead of tariffs implemented at the end of March 2025, BofA added.For Q2, same-store new unit sales are projected to decline by 1.8% on average, again reflecting difficult comparisons from April of last year due to pre-buying before tariff-related price increases. Key risks to recovery include lower consumer confidence linked to the Iran War and higher gas prices, which historically affect US auto sales.The firm added that AutoNation remains a top pick heading into earnings, as its store footprint was less affected by weather disruptions. There is also potential upside to EPS from share buybacks, which may offset higher selling, general, and administrative expenses.BofA lowered price targets of Asbury Automotive to $238 from $255, Group 1 Automotive to $390 from $430, Lithia Motors to $320 from $335, and Penske Automotive to $185 from $200.Price: $197.68, Change: $-2.85, Percent Change: -1.42%
