Ave Maria Growth Fund made the following comment about Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:
"Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT), another of our top return contributors, is a longtime holding of the Fund and currently the Fund’s largest position. The company primarily operates automotive salvage auctions for vehicles that have been deemed a total loss after a collision or other catastrophic event. The business operates in a duopoly with one other major auction platform, IAA. A mere eight years ago, Copart and IAA had roughly equivalent market share of units sold. Today, Copart is approximately 2x larger than IAA as its superior strategy, technology, and service has resulted in consistent market share gains. Copart is likely to continue to take market share while enjoying the same industry-wide tailwinds that have helped propel the company’s ten-fold increase in revenue over the last twenty years."
