Shares rose 16.6% in premarket trading and the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, after which Mister Car Wash will be delisted from NASDAQ. CEO John Lai said the take-private is intended to accelerate investments in locations, employees and technologies. The company reported Q4 net revenue of $261.2 million (+4%) and fiscal 2025 net revenue of $1.05 billion (+6%), 29 new locations and about 2.3 million Unlimited-Wash memberships (+7%). » Más en de.investing.com

Mister Car Wash’s stock dropped to a 52‑week low of $4.96 and is down about 22.3% year‑to‑date. In Q2 the company missed both the EPS estimate ($0.11 vs. $0.1247 expected) and revenue ($265M vs. $271.82M expected); same‑store revenue growth was weak at 1.2%. Analysts responded by cutting price targets (e.g., Mizuho from $11.00 to $9.00, Guggenheim from $9.50 to $8.00), while InvestingPro flagged technical signals of an oversold condition. Despite the weakness, Mister Car Wash reports a gross margin of 32% and annual revenue of over $1 billion; investors are now watching for potential recovery measures. » Más en de.investing.com
