The outlook for Carvana Co. and the father-son duo behind the used-car dealer has turned from bleak to dire.

The company’s stock, which once traded as high as $376.83 intraday, fell as much as 42% to $8.37 in New York trading after poor quarterly results led Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas to float the idea that it could sink to as low as $1. Shares are now down 96% in 2022.
