What Happened?

On January 28, 2026, a report by short seller Gotham City Research alleged that the Company’s reported profitability relies on undisclosed related-party transactions with DriveTime and Bridgecrest. The report claims DriveTime burned over $1 billion in cash while levering up to 20x to 40x EBITDA to subsidize Carvana’s earnings, and that Bridgecrest marked down billions in loans as Carvana recognized gains on loan sales. On this news, the price of Carvana shares declined by $67.68 per share, or approximately 14.2%, from $477.72 per share on January 27, 2026 to close at $410.04 on January 28, 2026.

What Should I Do?

At this stage, no lawsuit has been filed. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether claims may be brought under federal securities laws.
