What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of CPRT's valuation, growth and risks.
On earnings, Copart, Inc. (CPRT) is valued at 18.71 times, against a median of 34.0 for Industrials: a discount to peers, with the P/E 45.0% below that median. On sales, the P/S of 5.76 compares with a sector median of 4.0, 44.0% above it. For scale, CPRT carries a market value of $26.8B and trailing earnings of $1.55 a share.
The business earns a net margin of 31.81% and an operating margin of 32.01% and a return on equity of 16.16%, below the sector median of 17.8%. Debt-to-equity of 0.01 rounds out the fundamentals.
Copart, Inc. (CPRT) fell short in its September 10, 2026 report, with earnings of $0.35 a share against a $0.38 estimate, a miss of 7.89%. The shares dropped 2.60% in the next session.
CPRT beat the EPS estimate in 4 of its last 7 reports, yet the stock fell in the first session after every one of those 4 beats. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $1.63 this fiscal year (growth of 4.8%) and $1.81 the year after (growth of 11.4%).
Copart, Inc. (CPRT) moves about 2.10% on a typical day, measured as the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.06. The downtrend is a risk in its own right while the price remains under both moving averages. The price is 34.80% below the 52-week high of $44.34. Insiders sold $22.5M of stock over the last 18 months and bought none on the open market. Sales are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than purchases.

- Two levels are closest to the price: the 50-day SMA at $29.79 sits above it, and the 20-day EMA at $28.18 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 55.0, in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
