PRNewswire (Wed, 8-Oct 5:30 AM ET)
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 trades on the NYSE stock market under the symbol LAD.

The top ETF exchange traded funds that LAD belongs to (by Net Assets): IJH, VTI, VB, VBR, VXF.
LAD has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of -3.9%, while SPY returned +18.1%. This shows that you would have done better investing in the overall market (through SPY) over the last year than in LAD shares. However, LAD has outperformed the market in the last 3 month and 2 week periods, returning +3.6% and +4.7%, while SPY returned +2.8% and -0.5%, respectively. This indicates LAD has been having a stronger performance recently.
LAD support price is $331.24 and resistance is $348.08 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that LAD shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
