AutoNation, Inc. amended and restated its unsecured credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase and other lenders, raising its revolving credit facility commitment from US$1.90 billion to US$2.00 billion. The accordion feature was expanded to as much as US$1.00 billion, and the maturity was extended to September 14, 2031. The company said the facility carries the same or lower fees and margins, with leverage and interest coverage covenants unchanged. The larger, longer-dated credit line could support future operational and capital allocation decisions, including transactions similar to the June 2026 acquisition of three premium luxury dealerships in the San Francisco Bay Area, which along with other luxury additions has added roughly US$1.0 billion of annual revenue. AutoNation's narrative projects $29.9 billion revenue and $816.2 million earnings by 2029, while some of the most optimistic analysts assume revenue of about US$31.6 billion and earnings near US$881.5 million by 2029.
