Is Karooooo Ltd. (NASDAQ:KARO) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Karooooo Ltd. at current levels.
South Africa's fleet SaaS compounder is mispriced at 0.7x EV/EBITDA — the market hasn't woken up to its global scaling story.
Where KARO is headed
Picture Karooooo by late 2027 crossing 2.5 million active subscribers globally, up from roughly 2.1 million today, with its international expansion (Southeast Asia, Middle East, select European markets) contributing 25%+ of net subscriber additions. Revenue run-rate approaches $420-440M annualized, driven by ARPU expansion from upselling Fleet Management, LiveVision, and Karooooo Logistics modules to existing customers while the core Cartrack business in South Africa continues its steady mid-teens subscriber growth against a massive underpenetrated TAM of 15M+ vehicles. Operating margins push toward 28-30% as international cohorts mature past their initial investment phase and the platform's unit economics — near-zero marginal cost per incremental subscriber — compound.
