Cars.com is a Chicago-based online auto marketplace that connects car shoppers with dealers through the Cars.com platform, the dealer subscription platform, and the broader portfolio of online automotive marketplaces, and the company is in the middle of a fiscal second quarter that demonstrates the kind of dealer subscription revenue stability the online auto marketplace cohort has been waiting for. Q2 2026 total revenue of $179.9 million was 0.7 percent above the prior-year quarter's $178.7 million, the H1 2026 total revenue of $360.2 million was 0.7 percent above the prior-year period's $357.8 million, and the dealer subscription revenue of $163.3 million in the quarter was 3.1 percent above the prior-year quarter's $158.5 million. The combination of the modest revenue growth and the dealer subscription revenue stability is the cleanest single-sentence read on what the online auto marketplace business model is producing.
