I change my rating for Sonic Automotive from 'Hold' to 'Buy', after assessing its near- and long-term prospects. SAH has a good chance of beating Q2 consensus revenue estimates, given that the industry and its key OEM partner have done well in the recent month. A stabilization of used vehicle pricing and a proposal to widen the EchoPark footprint bode well for SAH's under-penetrated used car business.
