Carvana: In A Class Of Its Own With Furious Growth Rates

Carvana is delivering rapid growth, outpacing the used car industry with ~40% unit sales growth and strong Q1 results. CVNA's reconditioning capacity and completed capex support scaling to 1.5 million units annually, with further real estate available for expansion to 3 million units (vs. ~750k run rate today). Despite a premium valuation—31.3x EV/FY26 EBITDA—the company's secular growth and margin expansion targets support a 'growth at a reasonable price' thesis.
