Forecasters expect U.S. auto sales in February to increase modestly, but only modestly – a percent increase of low single digits vs. February 2023, adjusting for the fact that February 2024 has an extra day, since it’s a Leap Year. For example, analysts for S&P Global Mobility, and in a joint forecast from J.D. Power and GlobalData separately each predict a forecast for U.S. new-vehicle sales that rounds up to about 1.2 million cars and trucks, in February 2024.
