CVNA Stock Plunged: Here’s What Happened

The Situation

Carvana Co (NASDAQ: CVNA) shares -- an online used car retailer in the United States known for multi-story car vending machines -- plunged on Monday after dropping in Q3 revenue and other conditions. As of 12:00 PM, ET Carvana shares dropped by 11.17%.

The Explanation

Carvana Co officially went public in April 2017 at $15 per share but dropped to $13.50, tanking 14% upon debut. Despite this, it reached its all-time high of $370 per share on August 10, 2021, propelling it to a 2,300% growth from its IPO.

The company announced its revenue fell 3% year-over-year to $3.4 billion due to an 8% drop in cars sold. The company is left with $316 million in cash with $6.6 billion in long-term debt and had to cut its workforce by 8% or roughly 1,500 workers.

The company announced earlier this year that it would lay off 12% of its workforce or 2,500 employees. Carvana stock is down 97.05% year-to-date amid credit risk and losses mounting with thin cash left.

The Effect

Since investors can’t know for sure whether the company will evade credit risk, it is more important to focus on other aspects of Carvana Co’s business.
