The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Down 16% at the moment after earnings release this morning.

barrons.com - Carmax earnings stock price

Shares of Carmax sank Thursday after the used-car dealer reported fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings that missed expectations and management sounded the alarm about the looming impact of auto tariffs.

...

“I think it will it will push some folks into looking at used cars, late model used cars, which is interesting because that’s what we’re seeing a lot of interest in right now,” CarMax CEO William Nash said Thursday. “Now, I think over time, what could happen is that the used car prices will also go up.”

What’s more significant, in Nash’s view, is the higher cost of auto parts. “The other thing to think about on the tariffs that impacts our business as well as any anybody that sells used cars, it’s just the parts piece,” he said.

CarMax must find ways to offset those increases, the CEO continued. Still, he struck an upbeat tone on the earnings call, asserting the company manages inventory “better than anybody in the business.”
