In this article:

CPRT is an online auto auction and vehicle remarketing company. It offers vehicle sellers many services to process and sell vehicles online. The company also sells vehicles to dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers, and exporters. CPRT operates in 11 countries across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, handling over 3.5 million transactions annually.

As for Copart’s earnings, they were in line with expectations in its first-quarter 2025 report. Diluted per-share earnings hit $0.37, marking a year-over-year increase of 8.8%. Revenue was nearly $1.2 billion, which is a jump of $126.4 million, or 12.4%. That number surpassed consensus estimates and is further supported by bullish guidance from management, which sees bigger sales volumes in coming years on the back of aging vehicles.

It’s no wonder CPRT shares are up 30% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
