What is CarMax (KMX), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
CarMax retails used vehicles across domestic, imported, luxury, hybrid and electric categories.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
CarMax retails used vehicles across domestic, imported, luxury, hybrid and electric categories. It also auctions older, higher-mileage vehicles, reconditions and repairs cars, sells protection plans and arranges customer financing through CarMax Auto Finance and external lenders.
Reported revenue therefore centers on the value of used and wholesale vehicle sales rather than a pure commission stream. Used vehicles dominate the disclosed revenue mix, while financing changes the earnings and balance-sheet profile beyond the vehicle transaction.
What do the latest results show for CarMax (KMX)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q1 FY2027, carried revenue of $8.01B.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The latest period brought a sharp recovery from the preceding loss: revenue, gross profit, operating result and net income all improved, while reported revenue and earnings exceeded consensus. Revenue also surpassed the comparable period, but gross profit, operating profit and net income remained lower, so the sales rebound has not yet restored profit conversion.
Selling and administrative expense declined against the comparable period, yet that reduction did not offset the weaker gross-profit contribution. The result was only modest operating profit after a run of operating losses, even as net income returned firmly to positive territory.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for CarMax (KMX)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $170.53M at the Aug 31, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $882.93M for the quarter ended Aug 31, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The current-liquidity measure and quality screen are constructive, but readily available cash is small beside total debt, trailing operating margin is negative and net margin is thin. Most of the broader cash-and-investments total consists of long-term investments with an unclassified designation, so treating the entire balance as immediately available cash would overstate financial flexibility.
Cash generation has swung sharply between inflows and outflows, and capital spending exceeded operating inflow in the latest period. Annual net income also fell steeply while revenue eased only modestly, underscoring how sensitive shareholder earnings are to relatively small changes in gross profit and operating costs.
A weaker retail or wholesale market can compress vehicle gross profit while vehicles and finance assets continue to require funding. CarMax Auto Finance adds another exposure because borrower performance and funding conditions matter alongside showroom and auction execution.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

| Nov 30, 2025 | $1.25B | −$139.76M |
Operating cash-flow bars share one scale and show magnitude; negative values mean cash used.
USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at CarMax (KMX)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Dec 17, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
At the approaching earnings release, follow the sequence from revenue to gross profit, selling and administrative expense, operating result and operating cash flow. Revenue holding up without better gross-profit conversion would leave the recent recovery incomplete.
Consensus expects revenue to resume growth across the forecast horizon, while the earnings path is less consistent. Stronger confirmation would come from operating profit expanding and operating cash flow covering capital spending, rather than from another revenue beat alone.
Recent filings repeatedly recorded officer or director appointments and departures. Any operating priorities communicated by Keith Barr, the finance leadership or the chief financial officer deserve attention because retail execution, credit performance and balance-sheet management are tightly connected here.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
We expect FY '27 full year retail margins will be down less than the $200 per unit as compared to FY '26.

Enrique Mayor-Mora ·
I think, for this year, for the guidance we've given here, the outlook, we do expect to be lower, less than $200 year-over-year in a reduction in GPU.

How does CarMax compare with its peers?
Short answer
CarMax's score ranks 11th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
CarMax is not merely a vehicle-listing marketplace: it retails and reconditions used cars, sends older and higher-mileage vehicles through wholesale auctions, attaches protection products and offers an internal financing channel alongside external lenders. Used vehicles remain the economic core, while wholesale provides a distinct outlet for inventory that does not fit the retail proposition.
That integrated structure can retain economics across the vehicle transaction and customer financing relationship. It also binds merchandising, operating efficiency, credit performance and funding needs together more tightly than at a business limited to matching buyers with sellers.

Common Questions About KMX (Consumer Cyclical)
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
How does CarMax Auto Finance affect KMX earnings?
CarMax Auto Finance makes credit performance part of the earnings story alongside vehicle sales and wholesale activity. The internal finance channel broadens the financing offered to retail customers, but it also brings funding and borrower-performance exposure into the business model.
What does CarMax do with older, higher-mileage vehicles?
CarMax sells those vehicles through wholesale auctions rather than relying only on its retail assortment. Wholesale is therefore a separate monetization route within a revenue base still led by used-vehicle retail sales.
Do CarMax protection plans diversify the business away from vehicle sales?
Protection plans add revenue around a retail purchase, but the disclosed revenue mix remains centered on used and wholesale vehicles. Their economics are attached to vehicle transactions rather than independent of them.
Why has CarMax sales recovery not produced matching profit recovery?
Latest revenue exceeded the comparable period and consensus, but gross profit and operating profit remained below the comparable level. Lower operating expense helped, yet it did not fully counter the weaker gross-profit contribution, while cash generation remained subdued after pronounced volatility.

Sources — records for every figure on this page (77 figures)
The 77 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
