Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

Lithia Motors is a retailer of new and used vehicles and related services. The company offers over 50 brands of vehicles at nearly 500 stores globally across the US, Canada, and UK. The company has expanded largely through the acquisition of dealerships in smaller regional markets but now seeks to grow in any part of the US and we expect more deals over time in the US and, at times, abroad. Annual revenue in 2024 was $36.2 billion and we see over $50 billion possible in a few years. The US was 78% of 2024 revenue and the UK second at 19%, due to the 2024 Pendragon acquisition. In 2024, new vehicle sales were about 49% of total revenue. Lithia was founded in 1946, went public in 1996, and is the largest US auto dealer. It is based in Medford, Oregon.

Lithia Motors (LAD) Stock Looks Below Fair Value While Earnings Stay Cheap

Lithia Motors stock has produced a 23.7% return over the past three years, while several valuation checks currently point to the shares trading below an estimate of intrinsic value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and earnings multiple views both lean toward the stock being undervalued relative to its recent performance.
