Carvana Stock 13-Day Winning Spree: Stock Climbs 53%
Carvana (CVNA) stock hit day 13 of a continuous streak of days with gains, with cumulative gains over this period amounting to a 53% return. The company has gained about $18 Bil in value over the last 13 days, with its current market capitalization at about $53 Bil. The stock remains 132.5% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 17.3% for the S&P 500.
Carvana’s recent streak is fueled by its impending S&P 500 inclusion on December 22, sparking mandatory institutional buying. This comes amid a dramatic turnaround, marked by record Q3 revenue of $5.65 billion, 44% retail unit growth, and a wave of analyst upgrades, reinforcing confidence in its improved profitability and market position.
What is the point? Momentum often precedes conviction. A multi-day win streak can signal growing investor confidence or spark follow-on buying. Tracking such trends can help you ride the strength, or prepare for a well-timed entry if momentum fades. Our take: There are only a couple of things to fear in CVNA stock given its overall Strong operating performance and financial condition. But given its Very High valuation, the stock appears Relatively Expensive (see Buy or Sell CVNA).

While CVNA stock looks attractive given its winning streak, investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
