Company Profile

Lithia Motors is a retailer of new and used vehicles and related services. The company offers about 50 brands of vehicles at nearly 500 stores globally across the US, Canada, and UK. The company has expanded largely through the acquisition of dealerships in smaller regional markets but now seeks to grow in any part of the US and we expect more deals over time in the US and, at times, abroad. Annual revenue in 2023 was $31 billion and we see over $50 billion possible in a few years. The US was 90% of 2023 revenue and the UK second at 6%, the latter should rise significantly with the early 2024 Pendragon acquisition. In 2023, new-car sales were about 49% of total revenue. Lithia was founded in 1946, went public in 1996, and is the largest US auto dealer. It is based in Medford, Oregon.

Buoyed by Trump, U.S. dealers are optimistic on everything except electric vehicles sales

Cox Automotive reports there's a "renewed optimism" among U.S. car dealers heading into 2025, fueled by Donald Trump's election as well as positive trends in interest rates. But dealers aren't feeling more optimistic about the sale of EVs, according to Cox's "Q4 2024 Dealer Sentiment Index," which was conducted after the U.S. presidential election in November.
