Penske Automotive Group reported third-quarter earnings, but, as already announced, it did not hold an earnings call in light of its previously announced plan to go private in first-quarter 2027 for $212 per share.
Auto dealerships are stable, profitable businesses with a diversified stream of earnings coming from parts, service, and used cars.
As publicly traded dealers command greater share in some markets, manufacturers may refuse to approve transfers of franchise rights at some dealerships, limiting acquisition-based growth.
