Cars.com recently reported Q3 2024 results, matching revenue estimates but missing earnings projections. Financial trends show slight revenue growth, improved operating income, and strong free cash flow, but gross margins have declined due to higher product and technology expenses. My near-term hold outlook hinges on dealer demand recovery, with potential upside if growth rates improve. But significant recovery may not occur until 2025.
