ABG insiders buy $11.6M, buyback jumps
Watch: Q1 2026 earnings release for actual results and management outlook amid weather impact and buyback execution.
ABG insiders led by Abrams Capital and David W. Hult bought $11.6M of shares at $205-$225 range, signaling confidence despite short-term headwinds. Q1 2026 EBITDA is expected to fall 12.4% and EPS 20.5% due to adverse weather affecting 40% of stores. The company boosted its buyback authorization by $424M to $500M after selling 10 dealership locations for $210M net.
Heavy insider buying combined with a sizeable buyback boost offsets near-term earnings pressure and reflects strong insider confidence in ABG's recovery and value.
