Amazon (AMZN) plans to enter the used-car market with online sales of pre-owned Hyundai (HYMLF) vehicles. While there were concerns that this would spell trouble for used-car retailer Carvana (CVNA), Bank of America analysts Michael McGovern and Justin Post argue this won’t be the case. According to the Bank of America analysts, Amazon’s expansion into the used-car market is more likely to harm online listing sites, such as CarGurus, than it will Carvana. That’s due to Carvana’s marketplace model and focus on more than just used Hyundai vehicles. McGovern and Post maintained Bank of America’s Buy rating for Carvana and its price target of $220. This represents a potential upside of 18.89% for CVNA stock. More Recent CVNA Stock Analyst Coverage Bank of America isn’t the only firm that has weighed in on Carvana stock recently.
