Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The firm's product mix, weighted toward import and luxury brands, brings more affluent consumers to the dealership, which partially mitigates the sales decline during cyclical downturns that auto sales typically experience. Most Clicklane digital customers are also of a higher credit quality and wealth than the company had in the past.

Bears

Customers could delay maintenance or choose a cheaper independent repair shop instead of going to the dealer for servicing an older vehicle, which would negate the technological advantage that Asbury enjoys over smaller repair shops.
