AutoNation八月份销量同比增长32%

在各方面销售的强劲带动下，汽车零售商AutoNation八月份新车销量达到30,582辆，同比增长32%。在同店基础上，新车销量增长26%，至29,221辆。今年的劳动节周末归属于八月份，而去年劳动节周末出现在九月份。

　　国产品牌销量增长34%，至9,308辆。这部分销量来自于销售Ford和Chrysler等汽车的特许经销店。

 

　　进口品牌销量增长29%，至16,173辆。这部分销量来自于销售Toyota和Honda等汽车的特许经销店。

 

　　豪华品牌销量增长37%，至5,101辆。这部分销量来自于销售Mercedes Benz、BMW和Lexus等汽车的特许经销店。

 

　　八月份美国汽车销量增长17%，至150万辆。这是自2007年5月以来的最高销量。经季节性调整，销量达到1610万辆。这是自2007年11月以来首次跨越1600万大关。

 

　　强劲的销售得益于美国宏观经济的持续复苏和车辆老化更新。八月份成为了汽车制造商们欢饮鼓舞的一月。许多大制造商的销量都达到了经济衰退以来的最高值。在美国和日本的六大制造商中，有4家八月份销量增长在20%以上。

 

　　总部设在佛罗里达州Fort Lauderdale的AutoNation是美国最大的经销商集团。在15个州的主要大城市中，它拥有并经营33个品牌的大约267家新车特许经销店。

 

　　在今年第二季度，AutoNation经营盈利破纪录。每股盈利增长10.6%，至73美分，但比Zacks的预估少1美分。去年同期每股盈利66美分。

 

　　AutoNation收入增长13.4%，至44.3亿美元，高出Zacks的43.5亿美元的预期。收入增长得益于所有业务部门的优异表现，特别是二手车和金融保险业务。该公司国产品牌方面是本季度的收入冠军。

　　The strong sales were attributed to the ongoing macroeconomic recovery and aging vehicles in the U.S. August turned out to be a favorable month for automakers, with many large manufacturers recording their highest August sales since the recession. Among the six major automakers (in the U.S. and Japan), four recorded more than 20% volume gain in August.

However, earnings per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.

 

　　Revenues increased 13.4% to $4.43 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.35 billion. The revenue growth was attributable to strong performance in all business sectors along with higher revenues from retailed used vehicle and Finance and Insurance businesses. The company’s Domestic segment was the biggest gainer in the quarter.
