## What's in each report

- **The signal.** A single call on the company's North American vehicle sales, from Bullish to Bearish, with a confidence rating and the evidence behind it.
- **Volume and revenue.** New and used units and revenue for this quarter, last quarter and a year ago, plus market share.
- **Pricing.** Average final listed price, cuts from the first listed price, and price against MSRP.
- **Inventory health.** Quarter-end stock, how long vehicles take to sell, aged inventory and Market Days Supply. For dealer groups, a same-store view that strips out acquisitions.
- **Mix and geography.** Top makes and models, electric vehicle sales and leading states.
- **Management check.** Claims from the last earnings call, tested against the data.
- **Bull and bear cases.** Both sides, built on specific figures.

## Why investors use them

- **Read the quarter early.** Measured from vehicle-level sales and listing records, and published before the earnings release.
- **Hold management to account.** Last quarter's claims are scored against actual results.
- **Spot margin pressure sooner.** Aging stock and deeper price cuts show up before reported gross profit does.
- **Compare like for like.** Every company is measured on the same definitions.

## What the data can and cannot see

The reports read what MarketCheck observes at retail: vehicles listed and sold, their final listed prices, and how long they wait for a buyer. They do not see finance and insurance income, parts and service, wholesale, or gross profit per vehicle, so a report reads the car-selling side of a company and is one input, not a forecast of its earnings. Each report names what is out of its scope.

Not investment advice. MarketCheck is a data and analytics company, not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Each report carries its full disclosures. Questions: ai@marketcheck.com.
