StoneX analyst Michael Albanese reiterated a Buy rating and $425.00 price target on Group 1 Automotive Inc. (NYSE: GPI).

The analyst commented, "We lowered our new unit volume estimates to reflect modestly declining industry retail volumes and recent asset sales. The Hennessy acquisition partly offsets this; it should support Q4 volumes and phase in over about a year. Lower volumes also drive modest G&A deleverage. In aftersales, we trimmed our growth estimate to 1.5% y/y and lowered margins by 100bps, and we adjusted interest expense to reflect changes in the debt structure. Separately, our checks suggest the worst of the rebranding-related

Morgan Stanley Downgrades Group 1 Automotive Inc. (GPI) to Underweight

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 02:17:32 -0400

Morgan Stanley analyst Daniela Haigian downgraded Group 1 Automotive Inc. (NYSE: GPI) from Equalweight to Underweight with a price target of $232.00 (from $300.00).

The analyst comments: “We downgrade GPI to Underweight from Equal-weight as companyspecific execution risk collides with a more challenging industry backdrop, leaving a negatively skewed risk/reward. Our August downgrade to EW reflected a longer timeline to earnings recovery as GPI worked through U.S. rebranding disruption, used vehicle sourcing challenges and the upcoming Hennessy integration; two months later, the external environment has moved in the wrong direction.
