Copart is on 2 of our US lists: Nasdaq 100 companies and S&P 500 companies.

Copart, Inc. earned $327 M of net profit in the Jul 2026 quarter, −17.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $1.5 B. Over 5 years profit has grown 9.6% a year on average. That is 28.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $396 M.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $1.5 B (−4.4% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +2.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −4.8 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −4.1% and revenue +0.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Copart, Inc. reported $1.2 B of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +2.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 11.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $4.7 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $4.7 B.

FY26 revenue was $4.7 B, +0.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.4% on average, against 11.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +0.4%, against +4.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −4.4%, against +4.4% a year (rolling over).

Copart, Inc.'s operating margin was 32.0% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 4.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 35.4% and 42.2%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −4.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −4.2 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 111% of Copart, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $1.6 B of operating cash against $1.5 B of profit. After $337 M of spending on assets, $1.3 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Copart, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.4 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 10.1% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $1.4 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Copart, Inc.'s P/E is 21.1×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 12% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 32.0×, over 4.5 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
