On June 25, Carvana declined 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $65.85/share, with turnover of $3.76 billion. The stock exhibited a classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news pattern as its formal inclusion in the S&P 500 index officially took effect.

Carvana's addition to the S&P 500 became effective on June 25, requiring passive index funds to complete their allocation by this date. The market had already fully priced in the inclusion expectation in prior sessions, and with the catalyst now realized, short-term profit-taking pressure intensified. Adding to the selling momentum, RBC Capital Markets had previously lowered its price target from $92 to $85, citing less favorable securitization terms quarter-over-quarter and reducing its other gross profit per unit estimates by 2.1% for Q2. Concerns over Q2 retail GPU headwinds from lagging pricing had already driven the stock down from above $72 to the $65 range, and the formal index inclusion served as an additional trigger for profit-taking.
