Buy rating, but near-term risk/reward is unfavorable
The long-term recommendation is based on the composite investment score. The near-term risk/reward is based on nearby support and resistance levels. These can differ when a strong company trades close to resistance with support further below.

Is CPRT Bullish or Bearish?

Bullish. Innellis AI committee rates Copart (CPRT) Buy with a composite score of 59/100 , based on 6 analysts with 50% agreement. Last updated August 23, 2026.

What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +15.65 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -4.35 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

The committee is split. Analysts see this stock differently enough that the current rating reflects genuine uncertainty, not a weak signal.

Bull & Bear Case

Bull Case
  • ROE of 16.6% shows genuine earnings power backing the valuation — Value
  • Quarter-over-quarter growth rate is ACCELERATING, not just positive — Growth
  • MACD histogram positive -- bullish momentum — Technical
  • Low leverage (debt-to-equity 0.00) -- balance sheet can absorb a shock — Risk
  • News sentiment is positive (+0.20 across 15 articles, 14d) — News
Bear Case
  • Price-to-book of 4.8x prices in significant intangible value — Value
  • RSI at 76 is in overbought territory — Technical
  • Bollinger bandwidth of 22.8% signals elevated volatility — Risk
Both cases are generated from quantitative data signals, not qualitative or forward-looking judgement. They summarise what the numbers say today.
