Penske Automotive Group operates through a diversified model combining new and used vehicle sales, maintenance services and parts, commercial truck retailing, as well as its stake in Penske Transportation Solutions and its commercial vehicle and power systems businesses in Australia. During Q2 fiscal 2026, the company sold approximately 125 thousand new and used vehicles and more than 5,400 commercial trucks, while benefiting from sales revenue, service and parts margins, and equity income from Penske Transportation Solutions. International operations represented an important part of the mix, generating revenue of $3.2 billion, while Premier Truck Group generated revenue of $928 million and gross profit of $143 million.
In Q2 fiscal 2026, revenue increased 6% to $8.5 billion, while gross profit according to EDGAR data reached approximately $1.4 billion, equivalent to a gross margin of about 16.5%. Net income reached $260.4 million and earnings per share were $3.96, compared with net income of $234.5 million and earnings per share of $3.56 in Q1 fiscal 2026. The results included a gain of approximately $30 million from dealership sales; excluding it, adjusted net income was $238 million and adjusted earnings per share were $3.62.
Revenue for the twelve months ended in 2026 reached approximately $32.9 billion, with gross profit of $5.3 billion, net income of $936 million, and earnings per share of approximately $14.24, compared with revenue of $31.8 billion and net income of $935.4 million in fiscal 2025. During the quarter, same-store new and used vehicle units increased 5%, same-store service and parts revenue rose 2%, and gross profit increased 3%, with the margin for this business improving by 60 basis points year over year and 80 basis points sequentially.
The analysts' average price target is $208.75, within a range of $190 to $225, while the consensus rates the stock as “Neutral.” The average is approximately 8% below the 52-week range high of $227 and is also close to the initial non-binding acquisition offer of $210, making the outcome of the special committee's review an important valuation factor without any guarantee that the transaction will be completed. The wide 52-week range between $140.12 and $227, together with pressures in the United Kingdom, rental operations, and interest rates, indicates the need to balance the offer catalyst against operating risks.
