CAR Group (ASX: CAR) $22.37

CAR Group (CAR) has followed the path we forecast in late September here, after testing the $21 level. The stock bounced +2% yesterday but it remains down a painful 27% YTD, with another test of $20-21 feeling likely if the ASX does endure another leg on the downside. Importantly, the weakness has been driven more by multiple compression than collapsing earnings, operationally, FY26 adjusted profit rose 8% to $407m and FY27 revenue growth of 11–14% is expected, but rising bond yields, earnings downgrades and concerns around AI potentially disrupting online marketplaces have weighed heavily on its previously premium valuation.

CAR Group (ASX: CAR) $29.70

CAR +9.92%: delivered a broadly in-line FY26 result, but it was the stronger-than-expected FY27 outlook that caught our attention, sending shares sharply higher. After a difficult year for the classifieds sector amid concerns around slowing growth and potential AI disruption, the guidance went a long way toward addressing both issues.

CAR Group (CAR) $25.69

CAR managed to bounce ~13% off its late February low but its feeling increasingly like a begrudging move and our preferred scenario is it tests $23 in the coming weeks/months. We ultimately believe CAR and other classified type business are more susceptible to disruption relative to a WiseTech or Technology One, for instance,  with higher risk around competitive pressures.

CAR Group Ltd (CAR) $24.59

CAR group isn’t a complicated business per se, it makes money by operating leading online automotive marketplaces where dealers and private sellers pay to list vehicles and related services. The stock rallied ~10% earlier in the month after delivering a solid result and exciting investors by saying its AI spend is being absorbed within existing development budgets, leveraging CAR’s proprietary data - read Here.

CAR Group Ltd (CAR) $26

AI poses a genuine medium-term challenge to CAR Group by threatening the economics of online marketplaces rather than the existence of the platform itself. As AI reshapes how consumers search, compare and transact, carsales risks losing some control over traffic flows, facing greater price transparency and seeing the value of leads compress. Over time, that could weaken dealer pricing power and increase customer acquisition costs.
