Lithia Motors(NYSE) LAD

Lithia Motors helps people buy and fix their vehicles. It sells cars through physical stores and online websites. The company also offers loans for vehicle buyers.

Growing the Global Network

Why Lithia Stands Out

Lithia uses an entrepreneurial model that grants local managers accountability for store performance and responsiveness to regional markets. The company maintains a captive financing division to offer proprietary loan solutions and manage reliance on third-party lenders.

Performance by the Numbers

• Total revenues were $9.8 billion in the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, up 2.2% year over year.
• Total gross profit was $1.5 billion in the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, up 0.8% year over year.
• Aftersales revenue was $2.1 billion in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, up 5.0% year over year.
• Available liquidity was $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, including $110.3 million in unrestricted cash.

Bottom Line

Lithia has transformed from a regional dealership group into a global automotive retailer with a diversified omnichannel ecosystem. Its strategy balances physical expansion with digital growth and proprietary financing solutions to serve the entire vehicle lifecycle.
