Several stocks squeezed shorts Thursday. What does it mean for the market?
Shares of Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) were revving up once again this week, primarily on news that management now forecasts that the struggling online used car dealer's second-quarter adjusted earnings will come in above the analysts' consensus expectation. Ahead of an industry conference Thursday morning, Carvana updated its guidance. The used car dealer said it now expects to generate adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $50 million in Q2, and total gross profit per unit of $6,000, which represents a 63% improvement compared to Q2 2022.
Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) stock took off like a rocket early Thursday morning, rising 22.7% through 9:45 a.m. ET, after the company announced a revised -- and improved -- forecast for the second quarter of 2023. Specifically, Carvana said it expects to earn more than $6,000 in gross profit per used vehicle sold in Q2, and to report $50 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Carvana noted that if it hits these numbers, this will be the best gross profit margin per car it has ever reported.
Carvana believes it can perform both feats. Carvana, once a symbol of the pandemic-era’s roaring car market, has suffered from the effect of rising interest rates. A perennial loss maker, the company once relied on healthy growth prospects to raise billions in capital.
The stock market has been relatively quiet over the past days, as market participants seem content to digest the big gains that major market benchmarks have seen in recent weeks. Both Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) and Semtech (NASDAQ: SMTC) have suffered big declines, but shareholders hope that the worst might be over and that the two respective businesses might continue to improve from here. Shares of Carvana soared 25% in premarket trading on Thursday morning.
(Reuters) -Shares of used-car retailer Carvana Co closed up 56.0% on Thursday with some help from traders covering their bearish bets after the company forecast second-quarter adjusted earnings above Wall Street expectations due to cost-cutting initiatives. Debt-laden Carvana said it expects to report second-quarter adjusted earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) above $50 million. This EBITDA forecast exceeded consensus expectations for a loss of $6 million according to Stephens analyst Daniel Imbro, who had estimated EBITDA of $1.0 million-plus.

The update helped reassure investors that the stock would be able to avoid bankruptcy after plunging as much as 99% from its peak in 2021 on slowing growth and mounting losses, especially as interest rates rise and used car prices fell for much of last year.

Bad companies can survive when times are good, even if their business models fundamentally don't work.
