Carvana sales have risen due to a combination of new car supply problems and higher prices. Revenues increased by more than 100% to $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2021, while gross margin increased by 145%. Retail sales increased by 76% to almost 100,000 cars in the quarter.
Analysts, however, have differing opinions about the future of Carvana. On the basis of strong demand for cars, Jefferies raised its target price for CVNA shares to $400 from $375.
