CarMax Inc.
(KMX) reported first-quarter adjusted earnings that easily topped Wall Street expectations, despite lackluster sales. Shares of this Zacks #1 Rank ("Strong Buy") company jumped nearly 14% in response.

Volume has been extraordinarily high today at approximately 9.6 million, against the average daily volume of about 3.8 million.

The nation's largest used car retailer posted a 17% decline in sales to $1.8 billion, which still bettered analysts' expectations.

Same-store used car sales slipped 17%, partially due to the sluggish performance of CarMax Auto Finance.

The consensus forecast for the year ending February 2010 moved up a penny over the past month to 25 cents per share, as 2 out of 11 analysts raised estimates. The most accurate estimate is even bullish at 27 cents per share.
