I expect this stock now at bottom and a great buy for a value investor. It pays a good dividend and when the economy recovers for the auto industry we should see 100% capital appreciation in the next three years.

Lithia's valuation of 4 times earnings makes it incredibly attractive, and this low valuation combined with its 33% EPS growth makes it a good bet to outperform the market over time, especially if the market eventually rewards it with multiple expansion, which it should when current recession fears dissipate at some point in the future.

Lithia has a massive network of dealers in rural America. Another beaten down stock due to supply shortages. Once the chip shortage eases, this company is going to make money hand over fist

Auto sales is obviously a cyclical industry, so some caution is warranted, though I think the company is positioning itself better for the next inevitable downturn. I also don’t think consolidation in the auto-dealership industry offers the same potential as that strategy in other industries might, given the limitations on the benefits of economies of scale. But management has proved its ability in my mind to successfully acquire, integrate, and improve the earnings of its targets (including the very large acquisition of DCH last year, which has gone very smoothly). Debt will need to be watched, especially as much of it is currently at variable interest rates, but overall the company’s strategy seems to be working well.
