Citi analyst Nicholas Jones raised his price target for Carvana to $65 saying the company's "soft" Q4 results and 2019 guidance do not overshadow its growth. Though the 2019 guide came in below consensus, the analyst believes the outlook will likely increase throughout the year. He views Carvanas's continued aggressive market entry pace and IRC scalability as a positive for leverage in out years. Jones keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

Bullish option flow detected in Carvana with 22,528 calls trading, 1.4x expected, and implied vol increasing over 1 point to 103.82%. May-24 75 calls and May-24 90 calls are the most active options, with total volume in those strikes near 5,200 contracts. The Put/Call Ratio is 0.41. Earnings are expected on May 1st.

JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on Carvana to $70 from $65 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The analyst expects Carvana's Q1 EBITDA to come in at $180M, well ahead of consensus estimates of $122M, driven by strong volume growth, benefiting partially from partner inventory and strong commercial de-fleeting, as well as its ongoing efforts to return to growth while sustaining healthy unit economics. The firm continues to see meaningful upside to standing consensus estimates even beyond Q1. It believes Carvana's "ongoing strong revision trajectory should be enough to support shares."
