Deep Analysis

Revenue Growth (YoY) measures how much a company’s sales have changed compared to the same quarter last year.

CarMax’s current value of -1.0% means revenue shrank slightly, while the median for its Consumer Cyclical sector is +9.3%, placing KMX at the 18th percentile among peers — well below average. The direction over the last eight quarters is not available, but the two most recent YoY figures show an improvement from -30.1% to -1.0%, and the quarter-over-quarter change is +96.7%, indicating a sharp sequential rebound. This combination of a still-negative revenue growth rate with a strong recent upswing suggests a recovery is underway but has not yet closed the gap with sector norms, presenting both a potential opportunity for turnaround and a risk that growth may remain below par. The CAUTIOUS overall verdict is supported: the metric’s level is weak relative to peers, and while the trend is improving, it does not yet confirm a sustainable return to positive territory.
