Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 40. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of a downtrend.
Volume is 1.5x its 20-day average, so the latest move has real participation behind it.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $83.91 and the swing low is $56.12; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bearish order block, a zone where large sellers stepped in before, so upside may stall here.
Fundamentals
The company reports a profit margin of 6.3% and revenue growth of +52.4%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.42 per share, which beat the $0.38 analysts expected, with revenue +52.4% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.0 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $82.19.
The next earnings report is expected around Oct 28, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Research notes
Carvana’s bull case remains strong unit and earnings growth: Q2 revenue rose 52% year over year to $7.38 billion, adjusted EBITDA reached $769 million, and analysts cited roughly 40% September unit growth plus Orlando reconditioning expansion as potential capacity drivers. The bear case is valuation and margin sensitivity: shares trade at roughly 27.3x earnings versus an industry average near 16.9%, while analysts have trimmed targets on lower gain-on-sale-per-unit and EBITDA estimates. The major near-term catalyst is Q3 earnings on October 28, with consensus calling for $7.62 billion of revenue and $0.49 EPS; BTIG expects 207,500 retail units and maintains an $87 target. At about $60.39, CVNA is nearly unchanged from the prior $60.62 view and remains far below its 2026 high, so the latest information and price action broadly agree with the previous neutral assessment despite improving operating momentum.
