Shares of online used car dealer Carvana (NYSE: CVNA)
fell 3.8% in the afternoon session after Hertz Global Holdings announced it will begin selling certified used cars on Amazon.com, a move that introduces a significant new competitor into the online vehicle market. The move allows shoppers to browse, finance, and purchase Hertz's pre-owned vehicles through the e-commerce giant's platform, Amazon Autos. This development is viewed as a direct challenge to Carvana's online sales model, raising concerns about increased competition in the digital used car market. Investors appear worried that the partnership between Hertz and Amazon could negatively impact Carvana's sales and market share. Furthermore, the new arrangement could lead to fewer of Hertz's used vehicles being sold through the Carvana platform, directly affecting its inventory and sales channels.
