AutoNation Fires Up $350 Million M&A Spree—Could a U.K. Expansion Be Next?

AutoNation Inc. reported a robust second quarter of 2025, showing significant improvements from the same period last year. Despite some disruption caused by tariff shifts and the prior year’s CDK outage, the company managed to increase total revenue by 8% to $7 billion on both a total and same-store basis. This growth was driven by improved performances across all business segments, including new and used vehicle sales, AfterSales, and Customer Financial Services (CFS).
