$CRMTPress releaseSep 9, 2026, 7:30 AM ETRead the release

America's Car-Mart reported first quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $145.8 million, down 57.3% year-over-year, with retail units sold down 81.9% to 2,450 and a net loss of roughly $69.0 million, or $8.28 per share, versus a $0.69 loss a year ago. CEO Doug Campbell framed the quarter as a capital structure story rather than a demand story: inventory fell 68.7% to $35.2 million as purchases were curtailed to preserve liquidity, while credit quality weakened with net charge-offs at 9.5% versus 6.6% and 30-plus-day delinquencies at 4.6%.
