Historically, such downturns often precede strong returns, suggesting a patient investment approach in this sector.

SVN Capital Fund stated the following regarding Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"At Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT), CEO Jeff Liaw stepped down on June 29, and the stock fell on the news. In a special call a week later, Jay Adair, a founding member and the company's CEO and then co-CEO from 2010 to 2024, said the handover was a decision he and Liaw made together, and that he has returned as sole CEO for at least the next decade. For a company that says little between quarters, the call itself was the message. The stock has also been dogged over the last year by a story that Copart is losing insurance volume to IAA, the other half of the salvage auction duopoly. He addressed the share-loss narrative directly: the lost volume traces to a single account, the franchise is intact, and the total loss frequency is still grinding higher. The company sits on $4.2 billion of cash and no debt after $1.6 billion of buybacks. I remain vigilant, and I have real confidence in Jay at the helm."
