Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 7.7% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Revenue shrinking. Revenue fell 3.4% over the last 12 months.
  • Growth easing. The growth rate is 4.2 points lower than a quarter earlier.
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was 60% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Heavily shorted. 17.4% of the shares available to trade are sold short (5.1 days of average volume to cover).
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 4 of the last four quarters.
  • Estimates being cut. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has fallen 13.4% over 90 days.

Valuation

Group 1 Automotive Inc valuation models and calculator

Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: held for review: our cash-flow value ($46.93) was left out of our combined valuation (it is 0.17x the share price, outside the 0.2-5x range we accept), so it can't be the basis of a rating.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Group 1 Automotive Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $209M, 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.

The inputs used by the models below have passed source checks. Individual model values are available below and in the interactive valuator. Their differences are shown explicitly; the platform combined value and recommendation remain withheld.

Valuation models

We value Group 1 Automotive Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.68 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Moat

55 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Group 1 Automotive's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 12 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 10.1% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 8 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 16.1%, moving by 1.2 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 3.8%; its worst year was 2.9%.

  • Cash conversion 10 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 9 of 10 years, at a median 1.3% of revenue.

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 32.9% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.2% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (60 before it).
