1 No-Brainer S&P 500 Stock Down 20% to Buy on the Dip
Copart is the leader in the salvaged vehicle industry, and it has a wide moat. As cars become more complex and expensive to repair, Copart should benefit. A recent sell-off has made its valuation more reasonable. 10 stocks we like better than Copart › One of my favorite -- and possibly simplest -- investing strategies is to "buy the dip" on steady Eddie stocks that have long track records of stomping the market. While past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, looking among previously "winning" stocks that have sold off over what appear to be short-term worries can be a great way to find excellent investments at fair prices. A perfect example of a stock fitting this mold today is Copart (NASDAQ: CPRT), operator of the leading online auction platform for (mostly) totaled vehicles. Copart has been a 341-bagger since its initial public offering in 1994. But the stock's path has not been straight up. Over the past three decades, the company has offered investors more than a dozen buy-the-dip opportunities at least as significant as its recent 20% decline. With its share price down (temporarily, I expect) again, here's why I think Copart is a no-brainer S&P 500 stock to buy on the dip. Copart owns more than 250 salvage yards, most of them spread across North America (though it operates in 11 countries total), and processes more than 3 million vehicle sales annually via its online auction platform. With a market share of about 45%, the company is the leader in its niche, headlining a virtual duopoly with RB Global, which bought IAA. The two combine for roughly 80% of the total salvage vehicle industry. Copart's most common types of transactions involve insurance companies selling totaled vehicles on its virtual platform to dismantlers, car repair shops, used car dealers, exporters, recyclers, or even the general public. Sales of cars from insurance companies accounted for 81% of Copart's business in 2024. Whether it's the auction, or the towing, storage, inspections, merchandising, title processing, and logistics (including pickup and delivery) of the vehicle itself, the company is a one-stop shop for all the services needed to move such transactions along. However, what makes Copart a fantastic long-term investment is its wide moat. Since its properties are primarily salvage yards, Copart benefits from the power of NIMBY (not in my back yard) sentiment. In most locations, residents will fight against anyone who tries to get zoning approval for a new junkyard. That somewhat insulates Copart from the threat of new competition. In addition to this wide moat, the technological density and complexity of vehicles continue to skyrocket, which could provide a decades-long tailwind for the company as more cars are declared "totaled." Since complex car parts are more expensive to replace, the threshold for an insurer to deem a car "totaled" rather than foot the bill for repairs continues to skew further into Copart's favor over time. Copart's duopoly partner, IAA, was acquired by commercial construction and transportation auction platform RB Global for $7 billion in 2023. Though this created a powerhouse auction platform for all types of vehicles, I'd argue that Copart remains the more efficient of the two. Over the last two decades, Copart's average free cash flow (FCF) margin and cash return on invested capital (ROIC) have been higher than those of its primary peer. While bringing IAA into the fold could help boost these figures for RB Global, it is worth noting that IAA leases the majority of its salvage yards. By contrast, Copart owns most of its properties. These added costs erode RB Global's overall efficiency and margins, prompting me to take a more cautious approach to its stock as it continues to integrate IAA. Furthermore, despite owning nearly all of its properties, Copart is debt-free and holds $4.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet, equivalent to approximately 9% of its market capitalization of $49 billion. As for RB Global, it has a net debt balance of $2.1 billion compared to a market cap of $19 billion. I'm not saying that RB Global is at risk of going out of business. I just want to emphasize that Copart is well equipped to buy more property, repurchase its own shares, or merely ride out an increasingly turbulent market. Lastly, Copart's partnership with Purple Wave (a heavy equipment auctioneer similar to RB Global) and its BlueCar business (which serves rental car companies, fleet partners, and banks) offers both potential growth options and diversification. Following the sell-off that took place after it reported its fiscal 2025 Q3 earnings in May, Copart now trades at 28 times cash from operations (CFO). That's its lowest valuation by that metric in over two years, but close to the company's average over the last decade. While its P/CFO ratio remains above RB Global's mark of 20, its relative premium may be justified: Copart has grown its sales by 10% over the last year, compared to its peer's 2% growth. Since Copart delivered revenue growth of 8% in the last quarter and sold off -- but RB Global grew sales by 4% and rallied -- now seems like a perfect "buy the dip" opportunity for investors looking at Copart. Yes, the company still trades at a slight premium to the market and its peers. However, Copart: Is the leader in a duopoly. Enjoys a wide moat thanks to its geographic presence. Should benefit as vehicles become harder to fix. Maintains better profitability and has a better balance sheet than its primary peer. Is down 20% from its highs -- a somewhat rare occurrence. I look forward to buying the dip on this no-brainer S&P 500 stock soon.

All-Berklee Production Powers Emilia Vaughn's 'Limbo,' A Collaboration with Matt Rollings
'Limbo' is a raw, emotional journey through self-doubt and healing, crafted with Berklee talent and brought to life by Grammy-winner Matt Rollings. Listen Now. 'The combination of her hauntingly beautiful and vulnerable vocal performance, killer guitar playing and 'way beyond her years' songwriting made my job incredibly easy.'— Matt Rollings BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 / / -- Rising alternative pop artist Emilia Vaughn announces the release of her haunting and emotionally rich new single, " Limbo,' available everywhere on June 6, 2025. The Berklee production will be released under Emilia Vaughn Entertainment and Media Group LLC // DNT Entertainment and distributed globally by The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. Produced and arranged by the legendary Matt Rollings, a Grammy-winning producer, artist, and pianist, 'Limbo' is more than just a song; it's a journal entry frozen in melody. With dreamy textures, understated guitar lines, and raw vocal delivery, Vaughn explores the quiet chaos of emotional stasis: the fear of moving forward, the ache of looking back, and the soft hope of finding direction again. Inspired by a season of introspection and creative hesitation, Vaughn penned 'Limbo' during a time when her confidence as an artist was wavering. Serendipitously, during a workshop at Berklee College of Music where Rollings was serving as a visiting artist in residence, he discovered and selected 'Limbo' as a focus track for his production class. This moment of affirmation marked a creative turning point for Vaughn, bringing new life to a song that had almost ironically stayed in limbo. 'While writing this song, I was deeply feeling the uncertainty of being in limbo with my artistry,' Vaughn reflects. 'In a beautiful twist of fate, the incredible artist Matt Rollings selected it for his production class. That experience brought the song to life. It felt like the sign I was waiting for, some steps in my yellow brick road.' Recorded across multiple studios, including The Ark Studio and Shames Studio at Berklee College of Music, and The Woodshop in Trinidad, CA, 'Limbo' boasts contributions from a talented roster of live musicians. Vaughn's acoustic guitar and vocal performance are backed by lush instrumentation: live drums and percussion from Otto Cook Sharp, piano by Michael Donovan, bass from Noam Bushkanitz, electric guitar by Andre Correa, and Rollings himself on glockenspiel and keyboards. The track was mixed by Adam Schwartz and Matt Rollings, and mastered by Jake Arnowitz. 'When I started my Production Workshop at Berklee, I was unprepared to encounter a talent like Emilia. The combination of her hauntingly beautiful and vulnerable vocal performance, killer guitar playing and 'way beyond her years' songwriting made my job incredibly easy. The student musicians and engineers all brought their A++ game as well, and we cut the track on Emilia's 21st birthday! I'm really proud of what we all made together….. " - Matt Rollings A true reflection of Emilia's commitment to artistry and mental health advocacy, 'Limbo' invites listeners into a space of vulnerability, healing, and hope. With its evocative lyricism, 'I just don't know how to get back home,' the song gives voice to the often-unspoken truth of feeling stuck, yet still searching.
