Investing.com — CarMax Inc (NYSE:KMX) stock is trading higher Monday after Evercore ISI analyst Michael Montani initiated a Positive Tactical Trading Idea on the stock, adding it to the firm’s “Tactical Outperform” list.
CarMax shares have gained 1.4%, although they are still down 28.8% in 2022. Montani raised the price target on CarMax to $105 from $85, maintaining an In Line rating.
According to The Fly, in a note to investors, the analyst said that ahead of the company’s earnings in late June, he sees sequential improvement across pricing, unit volume, and credit trends.
