ATHM: Softer Revenue Outlook And Higher Margins Will Support Future Upside

Analysts have trimmed their price target on Autohome to $26.29 from $27.71, citing updated assumptions for slightly softer revenue growth, a marginally higher profit margin, a small adjustment to the discount rate, and a modestly lower future P/E multiple. What's in the News Autohome has scheduled a board meeting for Mar 5, 2026 to review and approve the unaudited financial results for the three months and full year ended Dec 31, 2025, covering the company and its subsidiaries (Key Developments).

CARG: Dealer Data And Listings Model Will Withstand AI Disruption Narrative

Our updated CarGurus narrative reflects a lower blended analyst price target, down to a mid $30s level from around $40, as analysts factor in 2026 guidance that pairs higher expected U.S. QARSD-driven revenue growth with lighter margin expectations due to planned investments and an AI-related overhang on sentiment. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on CarGurus clusters around a similar theme: solid underlying demand signals for its core dealer products, paired with a more cautious stance on profitability as management plans for heavier investments through 2026.
