Will Carvana's SG&A Leverage Continue as the Business Scales Up?

CVNA plans to cut non-GAAP SG&A by $170 per retail unit in Q1 2026, attributing the step-down to improved efficiency as higher sales drive operating leverage. Management also expects additional leverage as the business scales further. The update is modestly positive on margins but is more of a cost outlook item than a confirmed earnings beat.
