CarMax Securities Class Period Extended to Nov. 5 as Firms Press Jan. 2 Lead-Plaintiff Deadline

Plaintiffs allege CarMax overstated sustainable growth that was actually boosted by tariff-related pull‑forward buying, pointing to a sharp selloff after weaker second‑quarter results.

Overview

  • An amended filing publicized by Kessler Topaz extends the putative class period to June 20–November 5, 2025, from earlier notices that ended on September 24.
  • Law firms including Bernstein Liebhard, Wolf Haldenstein, Glancy Prongay & Murray, The Schall Law Firm, and DJS Law Group are soliciting affected investors and pursuing claims.
  • Investors seeking to be appointed lead plaintiff must move by January 2, 2026, in litigation pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
  • The complaints invoke Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b‑5, alleging false or misleading statements about CarMax’s growth prospects.
  • CarMax’s September 25 disclosure showed declines in retail unit sales (down 5.4%), comparable store unit sales (down 6.3%), and EPS ($0.64 vs. $0.85), and the stock fell about 20%.
