Current thesis
The best post-print argument is that core operations improved more than the headline GAAP decline suggests: adjusted EPS increased, EchoPark posted record profitability, fixed operations gross profit rose, liquidity was roughly $770 million, and management paired that with a larger buyback and higher dividend [#8-K-2026-04-30].
