Investment thesis

A best-in-class specialty services business with 33% margins, a Piotroski F-Score of 8 out of 9, and three earnings beats in the last four quarters is currently blocked from a clean entry by a confirmed death cross, capitulation-level RSI of 26, and a confirmed downtrend—the underlying business quality is compelling, but technical conditions argue for patience until momentum stabilizes.

About Copart, Inc.

About Copart, Inc.

Copart's U.S. segment generated 83.0% of the company's $4.6 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue, with the remaining 17.0% from international operations spanning the U.K., Germany, Brazil, Canada, and seven other countries. Insurance companies supplied 81% of vehicles processed in fiscal 2025. Copart opened six new operational facilities across the U.S. and Spain during fiscal 2025, and operating income reached $1.7 billion.

Copart earns revenue primarily as an agent—collecting transaction fees on vehicles sold on behalf of sellers rather than taking title—though it acts as a principal in the U.K., Germany, and Spain, purchasing vehicles outright and reselling them for its own account. Service fees include vehicle listing, selling, transportation, storage, title processing, bidding, and loading charges; principal-model revenue represents the gross vehicle selling price. Insurance companies represent 81% of vehicle supply in fiscal 2025, with dealers, fleet operators, rental car companies, and individuals comprising the remainder. The proprietary VB3 auction platform allows bidders anywhere with internet access to participate without traveling to a physical facility, which the company believes increases buyer competition and average selling prices. Operating costs include labor, transportation (miles traveled and fuel rates), facility maintenance, property-related taxes, and costs of vehicles sold. Copart competes against other auction and vehicle remarketing service companies as well as large vehicle dismantlers that may source salvage vehicles directly from insurers.

Show full overview

Weather introduces meaningful supply volatility: mild conditions reduce accident frequency and shrink salvage vehicle inventory, while catastrophic events surge volume but impose operational costs and facility capacity constraints. In fiscal 2025, Copart recognized substantial additional costs associated with Hurricanes Helene and Milton, with capacity constraints in impacted U.S. regions weighing on operating results in certain quarters. Facility expansion strategy may be subject to zoning restrictions, use-permit hurdles, and no-growth regulatory environments that could limit capacity additions in specific markets.
