Group 1 Automotive Dumps Jaguar Land Rover – A Genius Play or Risky Gamble?

Group 1 Automotive reported a robust financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, achieving an all-time record in quarterly revenues. This was driven by exceptional performances in parts and service, used vehicles, and strong financial services operations in both the U.S. and the U.K. The company saw a slight increase in new vehicle gross profit while the aftersales business continued to expand, yielding record revenues and gross profits. In the U.S., the company maintained strong operational discipline with vehicle inventory levels balanced and steady consumer interest. Same-store sales in used vehicles performed well, almost setting a record despite a slight dip in used vehicle gross profits. The aftersales segment, a high-margin business, saw an 8% increase in customer pay revenues and a 16% rise in warranty revenues.
