CarMax Securities Class Actions Expand Class Period to Nov. 5 After CEO Ouster
Investors have until Jan. 2 to seek lead‑plaintiff status in litigation over allegedly misleading growth claims.
Overview
- At least one newly filed complaint extends the putative class period to June 20–Nov. 5, 2025 to capture losses tied to CarMax’s Nov. 6 termination of CEO Bill Nash and the ensuing share‑price drop of up to 23%.
- The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland as Cap v. CarMax, Inc., No. 25‑cv‑03602.
- Filings assert CarMax overstated sustainable growth and failed to disclose that early fiscal‑2026 strength reflected customers pulling purchases forward due to tariff speculation.
- On Sept. 25, 2025, CarMax reported Q2 FY2026 results with EPS of $0.64 versus $0.85 a year earlier, retail used unit sales down 5.4%, comparable‑store used unit sales down 6.3%, and a $142 million CAF loan‑loss provision that contributed to roughly an 11% decline in CAF income.
- Multiple plaintiff firms are soliciting investors, with some maintaining a June 20–Sept. 24 class period while others adopt the expanded window through Nov. 5.
