CarMax, Inc. (KMX) Securities Class Action Litigation:

The newly filed class action is brought on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired CarMax securities between June 20, 2025 and November 5, 2025. The litigation is focused on the propriety of CarMax's disclosures about the strength of its business model and growth prospects.

More specifically, on June 20, 2025, CarMax touted double digit Q1 2026 EPS growth and assured investors that "a fragmented market that positions us to continue to drive sales, gain market share, and deliver year-over-year earnings growth for years to come."

The complaint alleges that CarMax misled investors about its prospects, was in no position to assure investors of earnings growth for years to come, and failed to disclose that its Q1 2026 results were positive because of consumers' pulling forward their car purchases to avoid tariffs.

Investors allegedly learned the truth on September 25, 2025. That day, CarMax reported dismal Q2 2026 financial results. Year-over-year, the company's net EPS fell a whopping 24%, retail used unit sales fell 5.4%, and comparable store used unit sales fell 6.3%.

In addition, questions arose about the quality of the company's CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) loan portfolio. The company reported that CAF's revenue declined 11.02% year-over-year due to a $142 million loan loss provision even though management had previously assured investors that "we feel good about our reserve[.]" This figure represents a sequential increase of nearly 40% and a year-over-year jump of approximately 24%.

Then, on November 6, 2025, CarMax announced the termination of its CEO, prompting one analyst to say "[t]he story has quickly shifted to what we viewed as a value play to what's now looking like a falling knife[]" and the situation "appears to reflect deeper issues at KMX[.]"

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether CarMax may have intentionally misled investors about the strength of its business model, actual growth prospects, and the quality of the CAF portfolio," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.
