Mama Always Said...
Mama always said 'Life is like a box of chocolates Forrest you never know what you're gonna get.' And boy was she right about Carvana! These folks they sell used cars online see? And they did so good it's like they found a golden ticket in a chocolate bar! They made more money than a shrimp boat captain after a big storm. Earnings per share? Way higher than expected. Revenue? Through the roof like Lieutenant Dan seeing fireworks on the Fourth of July!
Run Carvana Run!
Seems like folks are worried about car prices going up because of something called 'tariffs'. Now I don't know much about tariffs but I do know when people start panicking they start buying things! Carvana sold a whole lot of cars like they were running a marathon and giving 'em away at the finish line. They sold 46% more cars than last year near 134,000 of them shiny cars. That's more cars than I've seen in one place since I got lost in China while playing ping pong!
Net Income? That's Good Lieutenant Dan!
They also got a whole heap of money called 'net income'. It's like finding a twenty dollar bill in your old pants pocket! I don't understand all the fancy finance words but it sounds like they did real good. And some money came from somethin' about Root auto insurance like they were partners in some kind of car selling money makin' scheme.
More Money Than Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.!
Their revenue that's how much money they made from sellin' cars went up too! Up 38% from last year. Seems like they're sellin' more cars than Bubba Gump sold shrimp! And they're thinkin' of sellin' even more in the future like they're plannin' a never endin' car sellin' party. The CEO a fella named Ernie Garcia he says they're in a good position to do even better. Good for them I say!
Shares are Up Up and Away!
The stock market seems to like what Carvana's doin'. Their shares that's like little pieces of the company are goin' up up up! Like a feather in the wind floatin' gently to the top. They've been fixin' things to save money and be more efficient. Makes sense don't it? Mama always said 'Stupid is as stupid does.' And Carvana ain't doin' nothin' stupid that's for sure.
The Uncertainty of Life and Tariffs
Now about them tariffs... Carvana ain't sayin' much. But folks are thinkin' new car prices might go up which could mean used car prices go up a little too. But Mr. Garcia says they're just gonna keep on runnin' the business like normal 'cause who knows what's gonna happen? It's like tryin' to predict the weather – you can try but you might still end up caught in the rain. But that's okay. Like Jenny said 'Sometimes there aren't enough rocks.'
