Asbury Automotive: Aiming At Margin Instead Of Volume
Summary Asbury Automotive (ABG)'s recent acquisition of Herb Chambers provided a recent lift in its revenue and margin, which can be expected to strengthen its portfolio mix. To sustainably achieve a better margin against a normalization or even potential slowdown in the auto retail market, Asbury needs to roll out its upgrade to Tekion faster. Facing the challenges, management chose the right approach to improve margins rather than chase volume. However, cash constraints, debt burden, and macro headwinds remain. Pricing in most of the risk premium, the stock still looks cheap, as long as there isn't a major slump in its sales and growth dynamics. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaRecent updates

Asbury Automotive Group: Looking Past The CDK Outage
Summary Asbury Automotive Group is an auto retailer operating primarily in the Sun Belt and Mountain West of the United States. The company has significantly outperformed the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF in 2024. I expect this outperformance to continue thanks to an attractive earnings and free cash flow yield, coupled with a sector-wide benefit from lower Fed funds. Q2 2024 results were materially impacted by the CDK outage, but higher revenues and gross profits were achieved nevertheless. Key risks in the investment case include a deterioration in the US economic outlook and a balance sheet dominated by intangibles. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Jul 18

Asbury Automotive: Strength In Maintenance Can Lift Shares
Summary Asbury Automotive Group's stock performance has been disappointing, up only 10% and flat since my recommendation. ABG's Q1 earnings showed a 17% increase in revenue, aided by M&A, and strong earnings are likely this year. While new car sales have contracted and margins have declined, the maintenance and financing units continue to generate steady cash flow and contribute disproportionately to gross profit. With M&A integration largely complete and $21 in run-rate earnings, I view shares as attractive, with moderate buybacks likely to continue.

Asbury Automotive: Promising Growth Outlook Overshadowed By Weak 3Q23 Results
Summary ABG's past financial results have shown strong growth and expanding margins, but its 3Q23 results were disappointing as revenue declined and margins contracted year-over-year. The growth of ABG's Clicklane platform and the acquisition of Jim Koons Automotive Group are expected to bolster its future growth outlook. Despite outperforming peers in profitability and growth outlook, the weak 3Q23 results suggest caution. With a lack of a sufficient margin of safety, I am recommending a hold rating.
