CARMAX (KMX) Company Overview
CarMax, Inc. (CarMax) is the country's largest retailer of used cars by volume. CarMax competes in a highly fragmented, highly competitive market; there are approximately 20,000 automotive dealerships, 39,000 independent used vehicle dealers and an unknown number of individuals who sell used vehicles to the public.[1] CarMax has used its size to take advantage of economies of scale in its operations, notably through its rigorous computer-based tracking systems and no-haggle pricing strategy. Two seemingly unrelated drivers of sales are airline travel and hurricanes. CarMax sold over 200,000 wholesale vehicles to rental car companies such as Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) and Avis Budget Group (CAR), which thrive on increased airline travel. In addition, hurricanes tend to destroy cars, thus temporarily driving up the prices that CarMax can charge for its vehicles.
