CarParts.com stock rose 5.70 percent on Nasdaq on October 15, 2026, while the euro quotation stood at EUR 7.05 at Lang & Schwarz late in the Berlin session. The Nasdaq move is the strongest market signal in the current quote, but the business story is still centered on improving profitability.
Management reported adjusted EBITDA of USD 1.80 million for the second quarter of 2026, an improvement of USD 4.90 million from the same quarter a year earlier, according to Benzinga on October 13, 2026. The company also said its second-quarter adjusted EBITDA was its highest since the third quarter of 2023.
Revenue falls as margins improve
Revenue was USD 135.64 million in the second quarter of 2026, down from USD 151.90 million in the second quarter of 2025. The same period produced a GAAP net loss of USD 3.22 million, compared with a USD 12.70 million loss a year earlier. Benzinga reported that gross margin reached 33.20 percent, up from 32.80 percent in the prior-year quarter.
The improvement in adjusted EBITDA therefore came with lower sales, not with top-line expansion. Management attributed the shift to more selective customer acquisition, lower fixed costs and a growing dropship mix. A Premium generated an annualized revenue run rate approaching USD 50.00 million in the second quarter, according to Benzinga.
