By : Sandhya
It's been roughly a month since Penske Automotive (PAG) released its latest earnings report, and the stock has since climbed about 4.3%. While this rise slightly lags behind the broader S&P 500, it still reflects growing investor interest. But will this momentum last?
What’s Behind the Growth?
Since the last report, analyst estimates have been trending upward, indicating growing confidence in the company’s financial outlook. Penske also boasts a solid VGM Score of A, signaling strength across value, growth, and momentum investment styles — with especially strong scores in growth and value.
What’s the Outlook?
