NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:34 ET — After-hours
- Carvana shares were last down about 1.1% at $433.55 in after-hours trading.
- Wall Street ended lower as heavyweight technology shares retreated into the final days of the year. Reuters
- Traders are watching rate expectations, year-end flows and the timing of Carvana’s next earnings report. Reuters
Carvana Co. shares fell about 1.1% to $433.55 in after-hours trading on Monday, tracking a broader pullback in risk-sensitive stocks at the start of the final week of the year.
The move matters now because year-end trading can amplify swings as investors rebalance portfolios and liquidity thins. For higher-volatility names like Carvana, small shifts in risk appetite can translate into outsized moves. Reuters
Carvana’s business is also closely tied to credit conditions because many buyers use financing for used-car purchases, making demand sensitive to interest-rate expectations. Treasury yields eased on Monday as investors adjusted rate-cut bets for 2026, Reuters reported. Reuters
U.S. stocks finished the session lower, led by declines in heavyweight technology and other growth shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.35% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.50%, Reuters said. Reuters
“In light volume trading, we’re seeing a reversal of what we saw over the last couple of days … as we head into year-end,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Reuters
Carvana traded between $429 and $440 in the regular session, with about 1.7 million shares changing hands, according to exchange data.
Rival CarMax shares slipped about 0.2%, offering little relief for investors looking for strength in auto retail.
Carvana has been in focus this month after entering the S&P 500, a move that followed a sharp turnaround from its 2022 debt-fueled stress period as the company tightened costs and returned to profitability, Reuters reported earlier in December. Reuters
That index inclusion can matter for short-term trading because funds that track the benchmark typically must own new members, which can add demand — and volatility — around rebalancing windows. Reuters
Investors are also watching for the “Santa Claus rally,” a market calendar effect tied to the last five trading days of December and the first two trading days of January. Investopedia
On the calendar, Carvana has not confirmed a date for its next quarterly report, but Nasdaq’s earnings page lists an estimated report date of Feb. 18, 2026. Nasdaq
Technically, traders will watch whether CVNA holds above Monday’s $429 low and whether it can push back through the $440 area, with markets set to close on Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day. Nasdaq
