CANG: Higher Margin Outlook And Future P/E Will Drive Bullish Rerating

Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Cango from $3.00 to $30.00, pointing to a lower assumed discount rate, a shift to a stronger profit margin outlook, and a very large future P/E multiple as key drivers of the new price target narrative, despite a sharply lower revenue growth assumption.
