Core Viewpoint - CarMax, Inc. is facing a class action lawsuit for securities fraud following a significant drop in stock price attributed to alleged violations of federal securities laws [1][3]. Group 1: Lawsuit Details - The class action lawsuit has been filed against CarMax and certain senior executives, with claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [3]. - Investors have until January 2, 2025, to request to lead the case, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland [3]. Group 2: Financial Performance - CarMax reported disappointing financial results for Q2 of fiscal year 2026, including a 5.4% decline in retail used unit sales, a 6.3% decline in comparable store used unit sales, and a 2.2% decline in wholesale units [6]. - The company's net income for Q2 was approximately $95.4 million, down from $132.8 million in the previous year [6]. Group 3: Stock Price Impact - Following the announcement of poor financial results on September 25, 2025, CarMax's stock price fell by $11.45 per share, or roughly 20%, from $57.05 to $45.60 [7]. - An additional drop of over 15% occurred after the unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash and a weak preliminary Q3 2025 outlook on November 6, 2025 [7]. Group 4: Market Context - The lawsuit alleges that CarMax misrepresented the demand for its cars, which was temporarily boosted by U.S. tariffs, leading to a "pull forward" in demand prior to the tariffs taking effect [4][6]. - The unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash is also under investigation to determine if CarMax properly assessed its portfolio of car loans [5].
