Mister Car Wash Inc (MCW) stock has reached a 52-week low, dipping to $5.23, with analysts setting price targets between $6 and $11. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears fairly valued at current levels. Over the past year, the company’s stock has experienced a significant decline, with a 1-year change of -16.95%. This marks a challenging period for the car wash chain, which operates with a significant debt burden but maintains profitability with a gross margin of 32%. InvestingPro data reveals six analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period, suggesting potential resilience despite current market conditions. The 52-week low reflects investor concerns and market dynamics impacting the company’s valuation, with detailed insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report covering this and 1,400+ other US stocks.

In other recent news, Mister Car Wash reported its second-quarter earnings for 2025, which did not meet analyst expectations. The company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.11, below the forecasted $0.1247, and revenue of $265 million, which also fell short of the anticipated $271.82 million. This underperformance led to a reduction in the upper end of the company’s full-year guidance. Analysts responded to the earnings miss with Mizuho lowering its price target for Mister Car Wash to $9.00, while maintaining an Outperform rating. Guggenheim also adjusted its price target downward to $8.00, citing a "surprising" shortfall in both top and bottom lines, though it retained a Buy rating. Despite the earnings miss, Mister Car Wash reported a 1.2% increase in comparable sales growth for the quarter. However, this growth represented a slowdown from the mid-single-digit percentage growth experienced in the previous quarters. These developments have prompted analysts to adjust their expectations for the company’s future performance.
