Asbury Automotive fell to a 52-week low of $165.65 this week as several analyst actions weighed on the stock. UBS cut its target to $193 from $250 citing slower parts and service growth, higher expenses and rising floor plan interest, while JPMorgan Chase lowered its target to $185 from $190 maintaining an "underweight" rating, and Argus trimmed its target to $165.00 from $167.77. A consensus "Hold" rating from brokerages noted Q2 EPS of $6.82 beating estimates though revenue of $4.38 billion fell short. Separately, the FTC dropped its deceptive practices case against Asbury, a resolution that removes a legal overhang even as the agency said it remains focused on dealership pricing broadly.
ABG closed at $163.93, down 2.2% on the day, sitting below both its 50-day average of $199.23 and 200-day average of $208.53, with the 50-day below the 200-day. The stock has lost 21.4% over one month and 32.8% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 70, placing it in the Buying zone, while the price sits 49% below the Gekko Fair Value of $321.25.
