CarMax (NYSE:KMX) earnings for the used-car retailer’s third quarter of fiscal 2020 have KMX stock sliding lower on Friday. This is due to the company’s diluted earnings per share of $1.04. That misses Wall Street’s estimate of $1.16 for the quarter. However, its revenue of $4.79 billion is better than analysts’ estimates of $4.68 billion.
