Copart
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Copart, Inc. for these reasons:

Insider selling has been significant, with directors selling over 315,000 shares recently, which may signal a lack of confidence in the company's future performance.
The stock has a high P/E ratio of 36.07, suggesting that it may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
Despite strong revenue of $1.16 billion, the company operates in a competitive market, which could impact future growth and profitability.
Recent price targets set by analysts, such as JPMorgan's increase to $60.00, indicate limited upside potential from the current price, which may not justify the investment risk.
With 85.78% of the company's stock held by institutional investors, there may be less room for retail investors to influence the stock's performance, potentially limiting individual investor gains.
