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 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, 2026, to request to lead the case 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 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 financial results announcement on September 25, 2025, CarMax's stock price dropped by $11.45 per share, or roughly 20%, from $57.05 to $45.60 [7]. - The unexpected departure of CEO Bill Nash on November 6, 2025, and a weak preliminary Q3 outlook led to an additional stock price drop of over 24% [7]. Group 4: Market Context - CarMax had previously promoted strong demand for its vehicles, which was allegedly inflated by a temporary surge in purchases before U.S. tariffs were imposed [4]. - The company attributed the sales declines to a "pull forward" in demand due to the tariff announcement [6].
