12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

America&#8217;s Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRMT#NASDAQ">CRMT</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Thursday.</a>
The company reported second-quarter sales of $347.269 million (down 3.5%), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42336293/americas-car-mart-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-year-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $344.37 million</a>. Revenues fell owing to a decrease in retail units sold.&nbsp;
The decline in revenue was partially offset by an increase in interest income and a $13.2 million benefit in service contract revenue.  
Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of sales for the quarter was 36.5%, an improvement of 200 bps over the prior year&#8217;s quarter and 150 bps sequentially.
&#8220;Our initiatives in improving wholesale results and pricing improvements are reflected in these improved margins,&#8221; said the company.
America&#8217;s Car-Mart reported a 3.6% increase in interest income to $61.495 million. Total collections grew by 3.3%, reaching $173.8 million.
&#8220;We improved deal structures, generated higher down payments, and benefited from higher collections and gross margins,&#8221; said President and CEO Doug Campbell.

The allowance for credit loss as a percentage of finance receivables, net of deferred revenue and pending accident protection plan claims decreased from 25.00% on July 31 to 24.72% on Oct. 31.
The primary driver of this change was favorable performance in loans originated under LOS (improved underwriting system) and the improvements it is driving in the historical loss rates, America&#8217;s Car-Mart said.
The company reported an adjusted loss per share of 24 cents in the quarter under review.
During the quarter, the company increased finance receivables by $8.5 million, raised inventory by $7.6 million, and purchased $1.4 million in fixed assets. It also reduced debt by $49.6 million, net of cash.
&#8220;We&#8217;re closely managing expenses during ongoing implementation of technology upgrades to strengthen our operations,&#8221; Campbell added.
