TrueCar Stock Extends Rally After Analyst Upgrade

TrueCar, Inc. (TRUE) shares rose more than 15% during Wednesday session after B Riley upgraded the stock to Buy with a target price of $5.00 per share. Analyst Lee Krowl considers the reduction of costs, product initiatives, and cash to provide a “good setup” for the stock. While TrueCar still manage macro volatility and the loss of the USAA as its main Affinity partners, recent industry data points to strengthen the automobile sales bottomed in April and improved throughout May.

At the end of May, TrueCar reported earlier that the pre-COVID online motor vehicle sales go into the Memorial Day weekend. The purchase intent for new vehicles in comparison with used vehicles increased 9% in the post-COVID-19 period. The trends suggest that there may be pent-up demand for autos in the united States in the wake of the COVID-19-driven by the lock-in measures.

During the first quarter, TrueCar sales fell 2.5% to $ 83.5 million, beating consensus estimates by $ 1.5 million. Non-GAAP net income of four cents per share beat the consensus estimates by eight cents per share.
