AI CONVICTION THESIS

Copart is a legendary compounder with a near-duopoly in salvage auto auctions, boasting exceptional ROIC and a massive network effect. While it lacks a direct near-term catalyst from the 5 core macro themes, its structural pricing power and counter-cyclical nature make it a premier defensive holding, though current valuation warrants a cautious entry.
