On Thursday, Jefferies analysts raised the price target for Carvana stock (NYSE: CVNA) to $315 from the previous $280, while maintaining a Hold rating. With the stock currently trading at $345.64, near its 52-week high of $347.31, and showing a remarkable 235% return over the past year, this adjustment comes after a recent analysis using web scraping techniques, which aligns with historical growth patterns in Carvana’s retail unit sales. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears fairly valued based on its proprietary Fair Value model.
The analysis indicates that Carvana’s retail units have shown a 47% year-over-year growth through May 10.
