Cramer likened Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA)’s stock to a springed coil:

“A lot of times what you want to do in these kind of markets you want to look at stocks that are heavily shorted that can really do benefit from lower rates that have been pressed down. And that comes out to be Carvana. Now it’s up 20, that’s not my style. Ernie Garcia still hitting the numbers, stock’s down almost 10%. That’s just the kind of thing that a coiled spring works, it just works.”

Carillon Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund discussed Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:

“Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) is an online used car retailer that enables customers to buy, sell, and finance vehicles through a fully digital platform. The stock sold off on quarterly results. While new units and revenue were strong, profitability trailed expectations. Costs associated with refurbishing vehicles rose more than expected. This cost issue is likely to take at least a quarter to regain control and in the near term takes the luster away from very strong unit growth.”
