CarMax is America’s largest used-car retailer. It currently has more than 200 stores across the US. The used-car business is a low margin game and control over inventory is key to success. CarMax is an industry leader in that regard, as it turns inventory faster than any of its competitors. Even though short-term concerns due to the pandemic remain, the long-term market for used cars is projected to grow.

CarMax’s stock has been in a long-term uptrend for the past 10 years, as evident in its monthly chart. The stock had experienced a significant fall of 44% in February and March of 2020.
