How has Auto & Truck Dealerships moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 19% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 0% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 18 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Auto & Truck Dealerships outperforming S&P 500?
Auto & Truck Dealerships has underperformed S&P 500 by 10.7% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 1.4%. 8 of 17 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Rush Enterprises, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +23%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
OPENLANE, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 65.1% evidence confidence.
CarMax, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Penske Automotive Group, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
RideNow Group, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Auto & Truck Dealerships at +242%. Rush Enterprises, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +17.3%. 8 of 17 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Auto & Truck Dealerships itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Investor read: CarMax, Inc. is the scale benchmark; ACV Auctions Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: CarMax, Inc.'s growth falls below ACV Auctions Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Return On Capital Employed
AutoNation, Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 17 Auto & Truck Dealerships companies compared here, at 8.1%. CarGurus, Inc. is next at 7.9%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +5.1 percentage points. 17 of 17 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: AutoNation, Inc. leads ROCE at 8.1%, 0.2 percentage points above CarGurus, Inc.. AutoNation, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +5.1 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: AutoNation, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.
ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
CarMax, Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 17 Auto & Truck Dealerships companies compared here, at 0.64×. Valvoline Inc. is next at 1.38×. RideNow Group, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 5.62×, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 17 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: CarMax, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.64×, 53.6% below Valvoline Inc.. Only 3 of 17 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
LeaderCarMax, Inc. · 0.64×
Gap53.6% versus #2 · Valvoline Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage3/17 companies · 27 observations
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.
PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

10 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Auto & Truck Dealerships comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 17 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 17 Auto & Truck Dealerships companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Auto & Truck Dealerships company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Auto & Truck Dealerships comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 17 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
OPENLANE, Inc. ranks first at 63.8/100 with 65.1% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company has the lowest comparable PEG?
CarMax, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.64, among 3 of 17 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Auto & Truck Dealerships comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company is the biggest?
CarMax, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $26,349 million, ahead of Boyd Group Services Inc. at $3,361 million. That covers 7 of 17 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company has the best profit margins?
Valvoline Inc. has the highest operating margin at 17.1%, from 17 of 17 comparable companies. ACV Auctions Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +3.4 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company makes the most profit?
CarMax, Inc. earns the most, at $222 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 17 comparable companies. CarGurus, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company earns the highest return on capital?
AutoNation, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 8.1%, across 17 of 17 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — CarMax, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.64×. Only 3 of 17 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Auto & Truck Dealerships sector beating the market?
Auto & Truck Dealerships has underperformed S&P 500 by 10.7% over the last 52 weeks and 1.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 8 of 17 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships stock has the strongest price momentum?
Rush Enterprises, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Auto & Truck Dealerships company scores highest for research priority?
OPENLANE, Inc. scores 63.8 out of 100 with 65.1% evidence confidence, from 25.8 points on growth and earnings, 12.6 on capital efficiency, 9.3 on valuation and 16.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Auto & Truck Dealerships companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 17 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Auto & Truck Dealerships sector?
The 17 Auto & Truck Dealerships companies on this page carry $150,558 million of combined market value. Carvana Co. is the largest at $75,798 million, about 50% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Auto & Truck Dealerships sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 17 Auto & Truck Dealerships companies on this page is 22×, measured on the 16 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.
How is the Auto & Truck Dealerships sector performing?
8 of the 17 covered Auto & Truck Dealerships companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 10.7% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.
How many Auto & Truck Dealerships stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 17 listed Auto & Truck Dealerships companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
