Lithia Motors, the largest auto retailer in the United States, has a forward P/E ratio of around 9 to 10 times, less than half the S&P 500 average. Founded in Ashland, Oregon, the company now boasts 455 locations, 54 brands, and revenue of 37.6 billion dollars, but the market is concerned about a no-growth new car market and thin margins. However, an analysis of its annual report reveals that two-thirds of gross profit comes from sources other than vehicle sales, management bought back over 10 percent of outstanding shares in 2025, and the retreat of EV share alongside the surge in hybrids is boosting service demand. The company is essentially a car repair business, and it has been pointed out that the stock market's valuation contains a significant oversight.
