Online used car retailer Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) has seen its share price skyrocket after the company said it expects a record performance in Q3.

Carvana released a statement saying that it expects to achieve company record across several important metrics, including retail units sold, total revenue, and total gross profit per unit.

The company also said it expects to breakeven on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation EBITDA in the third quarter.

Investment bank Piper Sandler provided positive commentary on the Carvana earlier today, stating that the company remains in a strong position to benefit from the rise in used car demand.
