Copart, Inc. (CPRT): score, valuation & FAQ

Copart, Inc. (CPRT) is a Specialty Business Services company that scores 70.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Is CPRT a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CPRT 70.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by D/E (A) and P/E (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Copart, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does CPRT score 70.5 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CPRT earns its highest marks on D/E (A) and P/E (A-), and is held back by PEG (D). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is CPRT overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $28.18, CPRT sits about 25% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value (i.e. the DCF flags it as rich). It trades at a 17.5x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in CPRT?

Down 44% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
