Carvana (NYSE:) Chief Product Officer Daniel Gill acquired 133,000 shares on November 21 at $7.62 for over $1.01 million. Carvana shares have plummeted 96.7% year to date amid shrinking demand for used cars.
Also this week, Cowen significantly reduced Carvana’s price target to $10 from $55 per share, stating, “industry & macro headwinds have impacted unit growth and revenue trajectory while lengthening the path to profitability.” It also pointed to recent cost-cutting efforts not resulting in the company meeting 2022 profit targets, as well as Carvana’s significant debt load.
