☆ The Fed needs two industries to suffer in order to beat inflation, Jim Cramer says
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
It's going to be tough for the Federal Reserve to beat inflation without declines in the auto and housing industries, CNBC's Jim Cramer said on Tuesday. When the Fed raises interest rates, investors typically expect the housing, auto and retail industries to suffer. "You want to break the back of inflation, you need to break the back of the auto and housing industries," Cramer said. Cramer said without significant layoffs from more industries, the same cycle will continue, with marginal institutions staying afloat, partially due to strength in the stock market. If the Fed is going to defeat inflation, it needs to see some marginal businesses go under, he said.

On Friday, following strong fourth-quarter results, AutoNation shares surged to an all-time high and posted its best day in about three years .

☆ After a steep fall, used car prices poised to rise again
  + stars: | 2023-02-18 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
That shortage of new car inventory helped drive both new and use car prices to record levels earlier last year. The disruptions to the new car market at that time are about to be felt by today’s used car market. “And that’s going to impact wholesale prices and ultimately, retail prices.”It’s tough to know how long the rise in used car prices will last. The drop in used car prices has been a major factor in the slowing of inflation, but a sustained rise in used car prices could make it more difficult for the Fed to pull back on rate hikes. And prices would have risen 6.9% over the same 12 month period if used car prices had posted such a steep decline and instead just stayed unchanged.

AutoNation CEO Mike Manley attributed the solid quarter and record year of earnings to operational execution as well as new all-time high earnings in after sales and customer financing.

Dec 22 (Reuters) - CarMax Inc (KMX.N) on Thursday reported an 86% drop in quarterly profit and the largest U.S. used car retailer announced it was cutting expenses and pausing stock buybacks, as rising interest rates sap consumer confidence. The auto retail industry has been facing the brunt of consistent rate hikes and weakening consumer confidence. "We believe vehicle affordability challenges continued to impact our third-quarter unit sales performance, as headwinds remain due to widespread inflationary pressures, climbing interest rates, and low consumer confidence," CarMax said on Thursday. CarMax reported net income of 24 cents per share for the quarter through November, compared with expectations of 70 cents, as per Refinitiv data.

We can bet that they will be one-upping each other about how high they want to take fed funds, the overnight bank lending rate. They seem to want to ignore anything that's succeeded since the Fed's rate increase cycle began back in March. I think that, again, if the Fed were to wait through Christmas they would see the layoffs and the corporate failures. One thing that's for certain, the buyers of the 2-year may be more sensitive to the data than the Fed.

☆ Why investors have jumped off the Carvana bandwagon

He touted the company's "landmark" second-quarter results on Aug. 5, 2021 that included the used car retailer's first-ever quarterly net profit. Analyst Adam Jonas cited deterioration in the used car market and a volatile funding environment for the change. Jonas said "a deterioration in the used car market combined with a volatile interest rate/funding environment" made for a "material risk" to the company. Used vehicle prices have so far remained steady, but that may not last long, as the wholesale costs continue to decline. The average used listing price for a used vehicle is stabilizing but remains near record highs of more than $28,200, according to Cox Automotive.

Slowing demand for used cars and high interest rates are making things difficult for Carvana. Supply chain snarls kicked off a shortage of new cars that sent buyers to the used market in droves. But now the used-car market is slowing down, dealing a blow to Carvana and other dealership chains. Carvana, known for its vehicle vending machines, chalked up the poor results to a challenging economy and slowing demand for used cars. AutoNation, the largest dealership chain in the US, issued a similar warning about used-car prices last month.

Shares of the online used car retailer have plummeted by more than 95% this year, after hitting an all-time intraday high of $376.83 per share on Aug. 10, 2021. Analyst Adam Jonas cited deterioration in the used car market and a volatile funding environment for the change. Pricing and profits of used vehicles have been significantly elevated as consumers who couldn't find or afford to purchase a new vehicle opted for a pre-owned car or truck. But rising interest rates, inflation and recessionary fears have led to less willingness by consumers to pay the record prices, leading to declines for Carvana and other used vehicle companies such as CarMax . Large franchised new and used vehicle dealers such as Lithia Motors and AutoNation warned of softening in the used vehicle market when recently reporting their third-quarter results.
