Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Priced below our value. The share price of $206.67 is 93% below our value per share of $400.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 5.0% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Revenue shrinking. Revenue fell 1.3% over the last 12 months.
  • Growth slowing. The growth rate is 5.5 points lower than a quarter earlier.
  • Heavily shorted. 12.5% of the shares available to trade are sold short (4.4 days of average volume to cover).
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 2 of the last four quarters.
  • Estimates being cut. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has fallen 7.9% over 90 days.

What the price is pricing in

  • Last 12 months-1.3%
  • 3 years a year6.2%
  • 5 years a year12.3%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($205.40, Nov 3, 2026).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Asbury Automotive Group Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($615M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 2% and 2.9% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2.4% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$250–~$590 ; that spread sets a 35% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Asbury Automotive Group Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $615M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Asbury Automotive Group Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.76 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$400 ~$250–$590 Primary model, counts double
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$360 ~$250–$500 Included

  • Cash conversion 12 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 3.4% of revenue.

  • Discipline 18 / 20

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Asbury Automotive Group Inc’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade C+ (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
