What's new? We update our model following recent observations in AU used car (A$)

market. A mark-to-market exercise, no change to our fundamental positive view. Unless otherwise noted, all metrics are based on Morgan Stanley ModelWare

framework

Earnings impact? Reflecting some softening in the AU car market (due to macro **e ==MorganBased onStanleyconsensusResearchmethodologyestimates

factors such as RBA rate hikes and falls in consumer confidence) we lower: i) Dealer

lead volumes by 2% in FY26e and 3% each in FY27-28e, but still forecast LSD

growth; and ii) we now forecast negative Private listing volumes -10% in FY26-28.

The net impact of these changes sees our EPS estimates fall modestly: FY26e EPS

are now A$1.07 (from A$1.09), FY27e are A$1.18 (from A$1.22) and FY28e are A

$1.30 (from A$1.35).

Investment thesis & valuation impact? We remain fundamentally positive. CAR has
