Did CVNA Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Carvana delivered a blowout fourth quarter to cap a landmark year, posting earnings per share of $4.22 against a consensus estimate of just $1.09, a beat of 287.16%, while revenue of $5.60 billion topped expectations by 6.10% and surged 58.0% year ov… Read more Carvana delivered a blowout fourth quarter to cap a landmark year, posting earnings per share of $4.22 against a consensus estimate of just $1.09, a beat of 287.16%, while revenue of $5.60 billion topped expectations by 6.10% and surged 58.0% year over year. The standout result was powered by record retail unit sales of 163,522 vehicles in the quarter, up 43% from a year ago, as Carvana's expanded inventory pool network and 16 integrated ADESA production facilities gave it a meaningful structural advantage in the used car market. A $618 million non-cash tax benefit inflated the headline net income figure of $951 million, though underlying GAAP operating income still rose sharply to $424 million from $260 million a year prior, underscoring genuine operational momentum. The company crossed $20 billion in annual revenue for the first time in 2025, a milestone investors had been watching closely. Looking ahead, management expects continued sequential growth in retail units and Adjusted EBITDA through 2026, with a long-term target of 3 million annual units at 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margins by 2030 to 2035.

“In 2025, Carvana grew 43% year-over-year, delivered record unit economics, and passed significant value back to customers through better selection, faster delivery times, and lower costs. Achieving all of this at once is rare and speaks to the powerful positive feedback our model generates as we grow. Carvana is still very small relative to our opportunity, but with 5 million cumulative customer transactions and counting, we are actively changing the way people buy and sell cars.”
