Diamond Hill Large Cap Strategy made the following comment about CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“We also initiated positions in used car retailer CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX). CarMax is the largest used vehicle retailer in the United States. The company also operates an in-house wholesale auction and a captive financing arm, both serving as unique and difficult to replicate competitive advantages. We initiated a position with the view that a challenging near-term environment for used car demand presented an opportunity to own a competitively advantaged industry leader with market share opportunity at an attractive discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. We believe the weak near-term external environment should help CarMax solidify its position given its healthy balance sheet and the possibility of a diminished competitive set.”
