Topline<\/h2>\n

Carvana announced a deal to reduce its debt by more than $1.2 billion Wednesday, skyrocketing the company\u2019s share price up 40%\u2014a figure that marks a comeback from the used car dealer\u2019s abysmal 2022 stock performance.<\/p>\n

Key Facts<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Carvana\u2019s stock closed up more than 40% Wednesday at $55.80\u2014a more than 1,000% increase from the company\u2019s $4.63 share price at the start of the year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

$350 million in new stock will be raised by Carvana to pay down a portion of its debt, with around $125 million coming from billionaire co-founder Ernest Garcia III, the company\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The company, which had $6.54 billion in long-term debt at the end of June, believes the deal will reduce the dealer\u2019s total debt and lower cash interest expenses in the near-term, according to chief financial officer Mark Jenkins.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Forbes Valuation<\/h2>\n

The net worths of Garcia and his father, Ernest Garcia II, both jumped Wednesday, increasing by more than $1 billion cumulatively. We estimate Garcia III\u2019s net worth at $1.4 billion (up $483 million). His father, who is also Carvana\u2019s majority shareholder, now has an estimated net worth of $5.4 billion (up $846 million). Both of the billionaires saw their net worths decrease by at least $4 billion from 2021 to 2022.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

Carvana\u2019s 2023 rebound comes after a tough 2022 that saw the company\u2019s stock drop nearly 100%. In 2021, Carvana hit an all-time high stock price of $360.98, propelled by its streamlined car purchasing and financing platform that benefited from the Covid-19 pandemic, when supply chain issues slowed new car production while vehicle interest rates dipped. Since then, Carvana has dealt with debt troubles and legal battles that have led to a decreasing stock. Daniel Bustamente, a former Wall Street trader that scored big off shorting Carvana, said last year the company\u2019s stock was \u201cgoing to zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
