$SAH 2 of 2 - Sonic Automotive reports Q4 adjusted EPS $1.63, consensus $1.87 ....Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, "While consumer affordability and used vehicle sourcing challenges persist, our EchoPark results in the fourth quarter demonstrate our team's valuable industry experience and the adaptability of our innovative EchoPark model.

Companies that have exposure to the used car market is a category that I will be watching closely for shorting in 2024 ** Traditional Used Car Retailers: CarMax ($KMX): Up over 50% YTD, CarMax is the largest American used car retailer with a strong physical presence and growing online platform. Their focus on quality and customer service has positioned them well in the current market. AutoNation ($AN): Up over 25% YTD, AutoNation is another major player in the traditional used car space, with a focus on omnichannel retailing and digital experience. Their acquisition of EchoPark, an online used car platform, strengthens their position in the online market. Sonic Automotive ($SAH): Up over 20% YTD, Sonic Automotive operates dealerships across the US and has seen strong used car sales volume growth. Their diversified portfolio including parts and services helps mitigate risks.
