What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of GPI's valuation, growth and risks.
GPI trades at 10.16 times trailing earnings, which places it 51.1% below the Consumer Cyclical median of 20.8. The peer comparison on this page calls that a discount to peers. Its price-to-sales ratio of 0.13 is 93.2% below the sector median of 1.9.
GPI trails its sector on growth: revenue dropped 5.60% in the latest year, while the sector median is 7.2%. Profitability is thin, with a net margin of 1.31% and an operating margin of 3.83%. Return on equity stands at 9.49%, which is below the sector median of 12.4%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 1.96, and the trailing dividend yield is 0.89%, equal to $2.15 per share annually.
In its most recent quarterly report, released on July 30, 2026, GPI missed the estimate by 9.34%. Reported EPS was $9.61, compared with an estimate of $10.60. In the first session after the report, the share price dropped 3.35%.
GPI beat the EPS estimate in 4 of its last 8 reports, but beats have not guaranteed gains: the stock fell the next day after 2 of them. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $37.98 this fiscal year (a decline of 6.7%) and $42.10 the year after (growth of 10.8%).
On a typical day the price of GPI shifts by 2.81%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 47.49% below its 52-week high of $461.27.

- Keep an eye on the two nearest levels. The 20-day EMA sits above the price at $243.12, and the 52-week low sits below it at $225.51.
- The 14-day RSI reads 46.5, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- The share price fell 3.35% in the first session after the July 30, 2026 report. Across the last 8 reports, GPI beat estimates in 4.
GPI is priced below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($257.79 and $314.42), and that placement is why the trend reads as down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. Above the price, the first level to watch is the 20-day EMA at $243.12.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $225.51. The 14-day RSI reads 46.5, which is in the neutral zone between 40 and 60.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in GPI, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in GPI today could grow to about $23,904 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $148,452 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,849. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.89% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
GPI Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $343 for GPI by 2030 in the base case, from $242 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $108. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on GPI's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
