Description: CPRT Copart January 29, 2026
Copart Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) operates a global, internet-based vehicle auction platform that connects licensed dismantlers, rebuilders, dealers and the public with a suite of remarketing services-including virtual bidding, salvage estimation, title processing and a 360° imaging tool (Copart 360). The company’s network spans 12 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East and South America, and it leverages proprietary technology such as IntelliSeller (data-driven pricing assistance) and Purple Wave (wholesale construction-fleet remarketing).
In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2024), Copart reported revenue of $3.5 billion, a 12 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by higher vehicle unit volumes (+8 % YoY to 6.2 million units) and expanding market share in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates, which together contributed roughly 5 % of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin held steady at 23 %, reflecting the scalability of its cloud-native auction platform. A key macro driver for the business is the rising frequency of insurance claims-particularly from climate-related events-which fuels demand for rapid, online salvage auctions; concurrently, the growing share of electric vehicles in the fleet is creating a nascent EV-specific salvage market that Copart is beginning to service.
