Context and risks
Carvana's business is domestic in the US and has no direct exposure to conflict maritime routes or commodities. The oil price spike could affect vehicle transport costs, but it is not material relative to its cost structure. The Fed's rate hike is a market factor already captured by the quantitative engine.

Verdict: Hold; growth and profitability are solid, but valuation and weak free cash flow warrant caution.
Main risk: The main risk is the sustainability of growth: if the used-car sales cycle normalizes, current earnings (growth of 61.5%) could reverse sharply, leaving a P/E of 34.42 unsupported.
