Carvana CoCarvana fell 9.5% as higher rates raise funding costs for its buy-now-pay-later model and a stronger dollar pressures international revenue.
Shares of online retailers Carvana and Chewy declined sharply after the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to hold its benchmark rate at 3.5% to 3.75% and its dot plot pointed toward a potential hike rather than a cut. Carvana fell 9.5% and Chewy dropped 4% as the sector, which increasingly relies on buy-now-pay-later and consumer credit, faces higher funding costs when short-end rates are expected to rise. A stronger dollar also pressured international revenue for e-commerce platforms. Carvana is now trading 33.8% below its 52-week high of $95.69 from January 2026.
