Analyst

Thomas Westerholm

Kamux operates in the automotive industry. The company offers sales of used cars and related services within service, insurance and loan financing. Sales are made via the company's physical stores but also via the e-commerce platform. The largest operations are in the Nordic market. The company was founded in 2003 and has its headquarters in Hämeenlinna.

The issue stems from the fact that in private sales between individuals, the seller does not have the same responsibilities as car dealerships do. This is a significant advantage when dealing with cheap clunkers worth a few thousand, and this is where the car trade is shifting as people’s purchasing power weakens.  Samasta syystä taas kalliimpi auto ostetaan liikkeestä, koska oletetaan että sieltä saa varmuudella ehyen tai jos on joku vika niin se korjataan myyjän piikkiin. Osa ketjuista pyrkii tosin tätä mielikuvaa romuttamaan parhaansa mukaan… Conversely, for the same reason, more expensive cars are bought from dealerships because it is assumed that you are guaranteed to get one in good condition, or if there is a fault, it will be fixed at the seller’s expense. Though some chains are doing their best to ruin this perception…

So, I started wondering how Saka sees competition tightening specifically at the end of the year? Why?  Currently, all the major car dealerships are already investing in used cars, small dealerships are closing down, and consumer-to-consumer trade is growing. Maybe consumer-to-consumer trade is the “boogeyman” in question? Car dealerships must be able to offer cars at competitive prices and with more affordable financing so that consumer-to-consumer trade doesn’t continue its growth & prosperity.  This requires further efficiency improvements, in my opinion especially on the back-office side, if we consider Kamux… especially in Sweden and Germany.

Saka released a press release today regarding the outlook for the used car market; for some reason, I haven’t found it online yet, but regarding this year’s outlook, Saka’s points were:   The market is growing because few new cars have been/are being sold, and there is therefore strong demand for relatively new (3–5 year old) used cars.   Competition will tighten towards the end of the year.   The importance of imported cars continues to grow in order to meet domestic demand.   We predict that prices will remain stable.   The point of the release was mainly to advertise that it’s a good time to buy a used car from Saka, so perhaps it shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but the points sound quite reasonable. Stable prices and a growing market are good for used car dealers if they materialize, while tightening competition (even further) is naturally a negative.

Kamux’s share buyback has been successful so far.  The average purchase price is low, around 2.10 or so.  Now they have bought something like 600,000 shares… so the process is still ongoing.  They could buy a fair amount and cancel some of them! Treasury shares held by the company after the trades made on Jan 21, 2026: 867,911 shares.

Suddenly, this guy was “burned out” too, once he quit his job. In more recent videos, he states that with 6 days/week and long days, the rest of life goes unlived. Quarter after quarter, the targets keep growing.

At least for Kesko, car sales have been active in December too!  Let’s hope Kamux’s figures show similar growth.  If someone on the forum can see the December registrations, how was Kamux’s December? Could car sales be picking up for new cars as well during 2026…?

It’s not about the salesperson’s age. Many of those young salespeople are very good and enthusiastic, as this guy also seems to be, at least judging by the fact that his net pay was €4,100 a month. There is more arrogance among older salespeople these days, and many of them haven’t adapted to today’s online sales culture. Saka gets many things right; the best salespeople end up staying there for the long term.

<p>Kamux’s Q1 was again extremely strong (revenue +25% and adjusted EBIT +44%) and the figures exceeded our expectations. At the end of Q1, Kamux increased its car inventories clearly from the comparison period to prepare for the seasonally lively Q2. In our view, there is still a shortage of used cars on the market so a record-high inventory and favorable pricing environment due to the shortage generate in our opinion good preconditions for a strong Q2 for Kamux. </p>
