Sonic Automotive, Inc. Securities Fraud Investigation

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Sonic Automotive, Inc. ("Sonic Automotive" or the "Company") (SAH). Impacted investors are advised to contact the firm now.

The law firm is investigating whether Sonic Automotive and certain executives misled investors about the Company’s financial condition, cost structure, and exposure to rising medical and tax expenses between June 30, 2025, and October 23, 2025.

On July 25, 2025, Sonic Automotive reported second-quarter record total revenues of $3.7 billion and a 12% increase in gross profit, emphasizing strong financial results and the strategic growth benefits of its new Jaguar Land Rover dealership acquisitions. Executives also cited record profitability and operational momentum while promoting the Company’s position as the largest Jaguar Land Rover retailer in the United States.

Those statements came under scrutiny on October 23, 2025, when Sonic Automotive announced third-quarter 2025 results showing a 37% year-over-year decline in net income to $46.8 million and a 38% drop in earnings per share to $1.33. Management attributed the shortfall to a significant increase in medical expenses and a higher effective income-tax rate. During the related earnings call, executives added that elevated medical costs alone had increased SG&A expenses by about $0.50 per share.

Following this disclosure, Sonic Automotive’s stock fell 15.9%, dropping $12.36, from $77.84 on October 22 to $65.48 on October 23, 2025, causing substantial losses to investors.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Sonic Automotive (SAH) securities between June 30 and October 23, 2025, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your losses. Contact Shamis & Gentile, P.A. today to discuss your options.
