$CPRT Copart is a wide-moat juggernaut with a fortress balance sheet, sitting on a massive
$5.1B in cash with zero debt.
As the dominant leader in online vehicle auctions, they operate in a rational duopoly where Copart alone captures roughly 60% of the market. This scale provides massive pricing power and a network effect that competitors simply cannot touch.
Trading at roughly 20x P/E, the stock is attractively valued compared to its historical averages and elite 30%+ net margins.
The growth story remains relentless, delivering strong double-digit earnings growth over long periods, with only brief slowdowns during macro cycles.
Highly free cash flow generative and capital-light, Copart is a premier compounder that is perfectly positioned to dominate the salvage market for years to come.
