Group 1 Automotive (GPI)

Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Houston, Group 1 has built a dealership portfolio concentrated in major metropolitan markets. Slightly more than half of its stores are in the US, with locations across 17 states in regions including the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Texas, and California. Texas remains a particularly important market for the company, accounting for 31.6% of new-vehicle unit volume in 2025. Texas, Massachusetts, and California together represented 45.4% of new-vehicle unit volume, highlighting the importance of a handful of large regional clusters.

The company expanded internationally in 2007 with its entry into the UK, where it now operates 110 stores. The UK business contributed about 26% of total revenue and 27.6% of new-vehicle unit volume in 2025, making it a major part of the group rather than a small overseas add-on. Total revenue reached $22.6 billion in 2025.

Group 1’s scale gives it purchasing leverage, brand diversity, and a broad customer base. Its earnings are influenced by vehicle supply, consumer credit conditions, manufacturer incentives, used-car pricing, and demand for repair and maintenance services.
