The Zacks Style Scores offers investors a way to easily find top-rated stocks based on their investing style. Here's why you should take advantage.

AN reports better-than-expected retail new vehicle revenues, thanks to higher-than-anticipated sales volume and average selling price.

AutoNation's Q1 results were resilient, as new car sales units and used car profit margins developed well. Earnings are still normalizing after extraordinary Covid-time earnings. Trump's automotive tariff and consumer uncertainty are likely to start pressuring earnings after Q1. I estimate AN to have a fair value of $208.6.

Despite recent declines, AutoNation shares have surged 176.9% since my 2015 'buy' rating, outperforming the S&P 500's 156.1% gain. Economic uncertainties and high inventory levels pose short-term risks, but AutoNation remains undervalued compared to peers, making it a strong long-term investment. Revenue from used vehicles and finance/insurance has declined, but new vehicle sales and parts/services have shown resilience.

CNBC's Phil LeBeau reports on AutoNation's quarterly earnings results.

AutoNation, Inc. has shown moderate performance, with an 8% increase over the past year, driven by substantial cash flow and aggressive share repurchases. Q1 results were solid, with EPS of $4.68 beating estimates, but operating income fell 4% due to higher SG&A expenses. Despite tariff risks, AutoNation's diverse business model, particularly in maintenance and used vehicles, provides resilience and natural hedges against market fluctuations.
