Australian new vehicles sales declined by 2.7% in December to 95,895, with all states and territories reporting a decrease apart from Western Australia. Total new vehicle sales in2024 were 1,220,607, up 0.31% on a year ago. Overall, following a record year of vehicle sales in FY24, new vehicle sales are expected to continue to slow over the course of FY25. The decline in vehicle sales over recent months, and further declines to come, should be partly offset by ARB's strong order book, its increased store investment and recent acquisition of MITS Alloy. We maintain a Buy rating.
