Core Viewpoint - A class action lawsuit has been filed against CarMax, Inc. and certain senior executives for securities fraud following a significant stock drop attributed to potential violations of federal securities laws [1][3]. Group 1: Lawsuit Details - Investors have until January 2, 2026, to request to lead the case, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland [3]. - The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of CarMax investors [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 disappointing financial results 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, along with a weak preliminary Q3 outlook, led to an additional stock price drop of over 24% [7]. Group 4: Company Operations - CarMax's claims of strong and sustainable demand for its cars were allegedly misleading, as the demand surge was primarily due to customers purchasing vehicles before the imposition of U.S. tariffs [4]. - The law firm BFA is also investigating whether CarMax properly assessed or reserved for its portfolio of car loans following the CEO's departure [5].
