Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) reported second-quarter 2025 earnings that significantly exceeded analyst expectations, driving a strong after-hours market reaction. The online used-car retailer posted revenue of $4.84 billion, up 42% year-over-year and surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.68 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.28, well above the $1.13 forecast by analysts.
The company also reported record retail unit sales of 143,280 vehicles, a 41% increase year-over-year, reinforcing its position as a leader in the online used-car market.
Following the earnings release, Carvana’s stock surged 12.7% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor optimism over the strong top- and bottom-line performance. The market’s positive response suggests that concerns about macroeconomic pressures on used-car demand have been temporarily overshadowed by the company’s execution and profitability improvements.
Carvana provided an optimistic full-year outlook, forecasting Adjusted EBITDA between $2.0B and $2.2B, up from $1.38B in 2024. This guidance aligns with—and even slightly exceeds—analyst expectations, which had projected full-year revenue of $18.17B and EPS of $4.66.
For Q3 2025, analysts had estimated revenue of $4.70B and EPS of $1.16, but Carvana did not provide explicit quarterly guidance. However, management indicated expectations for sequential growth in retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA, suggesting continued momentum.
Carvana’s Q2 results demonstrate robust execution in a competitive market, with revenue and earnings comfortably exceeding expectations. The strong after-hours rally indicates renewed confidence in the company’s ability to sustain growth while improving profitability.
