Oppenheimer Trims Target Price on CarGurus (CARG) to $38
CarGurus Inc. (NASDAQ:CARG) is one of the 15 Most Undervalued NASDAQ Stocks to Buy According to Wall Street Analyst.
On February 24, Oppenheimer trimmed its target price on CarGurus by 5.0% to $38 (from $40) but retained the firm’s Outperform call on the stock. The AI disruption narrative, which compressed valuation multiples of tech and software companies – ultimately driving down CarGuru’s stock price this year (down ~18% year to date)- was a key factor for this target price cut. The firm, however, believes that CARG’s best-in-class used car proprietary valuation data, good dealer relationships, and AI-adoption insulate it from LLM disruption and, thus, the overweight rating.
Oppenheimer also sees potential upside for CARG, as new products and features (such as PriceVantage, New Car Exposure, CG Discover, and Dealership Mode) benefit from the company’s scale, leading to high incremental margins.
Lastly, the firm likes what it saw in management’s 2026 revenue guidance (released on February 19 along with the company’s Q4 2025 earnings), which implied that subscription upgrades and higher new-product attach rates will deliver durable U.S. quarterly average revenue per subscribing dealer (QARSD) pricing.
CarGurus Inc. (NASDAQ:CARG) is an online automotive platform for buying and selling vehicles. The company’s car listings marketplace features digital retail solutions and the CarOffer digital wholesale platform. CarGurus operates through segments, including the customer-facing U.S. Marketplace and the Digital Wholesale division, which provides dealer-to-dealer services and products sold on the CarOffer platform.
While we acknowledge the potential of CARG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you’re looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

VIPCrypto Enters the U.S. Rulebook: Repricing Digital Assets Amid a Regulatory Reset
1. In a single week, the U.S. delivered two developments the crypto industry had long lacked: a dedicated issuance framework and explicit backing from the White House. On August 18, the SEC proposed the Crypto Assets Regulation, establishing dedicated rules for token offerings for the first time. The proposal creates two fundraising pathways—up to $5 million over four years and $75 million in any 12-month period—alongside a safe harbor under which tokens can cease to be treated as securities. At the White House crypto meeting the following day, the president publicly called on Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. The shift from regulation by enforcement toward rulemaking provided the common catalyst for crypto repricing this week. 2. The result was a sharp divergence between crypto and equities. Bitcoin gained 22.2% over the week to $77,105, while Ethereum rose 26.4%. Over the same period, the S&P 500 fell 1.86% and the Nikkei 225 declined 3.96%. Real assets also rallied, with gold up 4.90% and Brent crude up 5.68%, while the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly climbed above 5.33%, its highest level since 2007. Equities came under pressure from fiscal and consumer-sector strains, while crypto benefited from the policy catalyst. 3. We caution that leverage, rather than fresh cash, is increasingly fueling this rally. The market-wide leverage ratio rose from 3.24x to 3.78x over the week, the highest level of the current rally. Meanwhile, daily spot ETF net inflows fell from $540 million to $140 million, and digital asset treasury companies recorded no additional purchases across five consecutive observations. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stands at 72, in Greed territory. At $77,105, Bitcoin remains around 39% below its October 2025 all-time high of $126,200. We therefore view the current move as a policy-driven recovery rather than the start of a new all-time-high rally. 4. Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, XRP, LINK, XAUUSD, UKOUSD, NVDA, PDD.
