Close on Sep 18, 2026. Page updated Sep 19, 9:18 pm ET.
Gekko Brief
AI summaryCopart (CPRT) closes at $29.28, down 1.3%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $30.42 and its 200-day average of $34.04, with the 50-day also below the 200-day. Over the past year the stock is down 37.2%, including a 13.5% decline over the last month. The GekkoIndex reads 66.9, placing CPRT in the Accumulation zone, while price sits 5.8% below Gekko Fair Value of $31.09.
The week's news centers on Copart's $1.9 billion all-cash acquisition of ACV Auctions, with a tender offer launched through subsidiary Apple Merger Sub Inc. at $10.50 per share, set to expire 30 September 2026 unless extended. The deal follows Q4 results showing a 2.4% revenue increase alongside a 17.4% drop in net income, and executives have signaled interest in further acquisitions to expand wholesale auction market reach. Separately, HSBC downgraded Copart from Buy to Hold with a $36 price target, while Corient Private Wealth LP reduced its CPRT stake by 7.8%, and Alluvium Asset Management initiated a new position in the quarter despite noting long-term autonomous driving risk.
Copart's next earnings report is scheduled for 19 November 2026 after close, 60 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. In its last reported quarter, EPS of $0.43 beat the $0.41 estimate, producing a 2.3% reaction, with 5 beats in the last 8 quarters and an average absolute reaction of 5.8%. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 2.6% gain over 5 years, positive in 3 of those years. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the current windows, though one billionaire holder is noted.

Last earnings call, May 21, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Copart reported Q3 fiscal 2026 results with global insurance unit sales declining 2.7% (1.9% ex-catastrophic volume) and U.S. insurance unit volume down 4.2%. Despite volume headwinds from reduced insurance coverage and softer claims activity, U.S. insurance ASPs increased 4.1% year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted all-time record high. Total loss frequency reached 23.6% in Q1 2026, up nearly 5 percentage points over four years. International buyers represent over one-third of U.S. auction volumes and nearly half of proceeds.
- Guidance
- Management views near-term volume softness as cyclical, citing historical patterns of consumer insurance retrenchment reversing. Long-term growth algorithm remains intact, driven by rising total loss frequency and auction returns. No specific revenue or earnings targets were provided in this excerpt.
