On August 24, Carvana Co. rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $71.85/share, with turnover of $100 million. The stock is extending its rebound trajectory after billionaire investor Mark Walter chose to pledge rather than sell his holdings in the company.

Walter's decision to pledge his shares effectively removed immediate selling overhang that had previously weighed on the stock. Earlier this month, federal investigation concerns surrounding Walter triggered significant liquidation fears, which combined with two directors collectively disposing of over 44,000 shares, drove Carvana down approximately 13% from recent highs. Short covering activity has since accelerated the recovery.

The current price level has broken above the concentrated institutional target price range, surpassing both BNP Paribas's $69 target and Evercore ISI's $75 target. For context, Carvana reported strong Q2 results in late July with revenue surging 52% year-over-year to $7.376 billion and EPS of $0.42 beating estimates, though full-year EBITDA guidance of $2.7-3.0 billion came in below some analyst expectations.
