CACC has generally shown modestly positive alignment between operational/financing news and next-day price moves, with a negative reaction mainly around leadership transition headlines.
Over the last several months, CACC reported stronger Q3 2025 results with higher revenue and net income, executed a $500.0M asset-backed financing while retaining significant unused capacity, and announced a CEO transition effective November 13, 2025. The stock reacted modestly positively to operational achievements and financing, and negatively to leadership change. Workplace awards in late 2025 also coincided with small positive price moves, underscoring a generally constructive backdrop.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +8.5% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with CACC’s history of responding constructively to operational and financing developments, as shown around the $500.0M asset-backed deal and recent awards. However, insider activity has recently reflected net selling, and the stock trades below its 200-day MA. These factors, combined with prior negative responses to leadership changes, could limit follow-through if sentiment shifts or fundamentals disappoint.

Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation
We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.
Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock market under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.
