Thesis

The Cycle '24: Car Repair, Towing & Auction subtheme remains bullish as of Spring 2025, driven by continued high demand for used vehicles and parts amidst supply chain disruptions impacting new car availability. The sector benefits from an increased number of older vehicles on the road, necessitating more repairs and maintenance. Additionally, the growth of online auction platforms for vehicles and parts enhances market reach and efficiency.

Bull case

  • Persistent supply chain disruptions have led to a shortage of new vehicles, increasing demand for used cars and related services.

  • The average age of vehicles on the road has increased, driving higher demand for repairs and maintenance services.

  • Online auction platforms have expanded market reach and operational efficiency, benefiting companies like CPRT and LQDT.

Bear case

  • A potential easing of supply chain issues could lead to increased availability of new vehicles, reducing demand for used cars and repairs.

  • Economic downturns could impact consumer spending on vehicle maintenance and discretionary repairs.

  • Rising interest rates may affect consumer financing for vehicle purchases, impacting auction activity.
