What this company does

AI

Asbury Automotive runs 158 franchised car dealerships across 16 states, selling 31 brands of new and used vehicles plus parts, repair, and financing/insurance products. New vehicle sales drive the bulk of revenue, with luxury and import brands like Lexus, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz leading the mix, while higher-margin parts, service, and F&I products fuel profitability. The company is digesting its $1.5 billion December 2023 Koons acquisition, which added 20 dealerships and pushed Asbury into the Washington-Baltimore market following its earlier transformative $3.48 billion Larry H. Miller deal.

Key risks

AI
  • Acquisition leverage: $1.50B Koons deal (Dec 2023) funded via credit facility/cash, stacking on $3.48B LHM deal amid rising rates.
  • Brand concentration: Toyota/Lexus/Honda drive ~37% of new vehicle revenue; Stellantis (CDJR) adds another 12% exposure.
  • Geographic concentration in Florida, Texas, Utah and Georgia; 16-state footprint leaves earnings exposed to regional demand and weather shocks.
