Summary
Inter Cars (CAR@GPW) is Central and Eastern Europe's largest automotive aftermarket parts distributor, generating PLN 21.2bn in 2025 sales with a rapidly growing international footprint now representing over 62% of revenue.
Rationale
The 70% trailing momentum signal is directly reinforced by fundamental delivery — Q1 2026 net profit up 34% YoY, July revenue up 15% YoY, and a balance-sheet deleveraging event in June 2026 — making this a quality-confirmed momentum setup rather than pure sentiment rotation.
Material risks
- 1Earnings are reported just 3 days after the as-of date (2026-09-14), creating binary event risk that could gap the position sharply in either direction before the trade can be sized or exited cleanly.
- 2Net margin remains thin (3.9%), meaning any demand softness in CEE or margin compression from e-commerce/OEM network competition hits earnings disproportionately given the low absolute profitability buffer.
