Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) dropped more than 8% post-market after the used car sales group said it would report second-quarter results before the market opens on July 19 instead of August 3.

The news comes amid a report that the total supply of unsold used vehicles on dealer lots in the U.S. stood at 2.22 million units at the close of June, down 10% from a year earlier, Cox Automotive reported on July 14.

CVNA is one of the most shorted stocks on the market, with 55% of shares short-sold. That has dropped from 63% of shares short-sold on July 12. It also compares to 12% for rival CarMax (KMX) and 2.5% for Cars.com (CARS).

Last month, the company said it expects adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter above $50M after previously just saying it would be positive.

CVNA shares, which tend to be volatile, are up more than 700% year-to-date.
