Investing.com -- Cars.com shares revved as much as 23% higher after strong preliminary results at the close Wednesday prompted at least two analyst upgrades.

 
The company said third quarter revenue would be between $142 million and $144 million, while analysts were expecting $137.5 million. Cars.com Inc (NYSE:CARS) also said it expects a net loss between $10 million and $12 million, primarily due to a $31 million non-cash charge.
 
B. Riley raised the stock to buy from neutral and upped its price target to $11 from $9, with analyst Lee Krowl noting that the results pointed to better dealer retention. The shares currently trade around $9.30. Craig-Hallum also upgraded the stock, moving it to a buy from hold.
 
Rival TrueCar (NASDAQ:TRUE) Inc. was also higher on the news, jumping as much as 11%. It's not expected to release its third quarter results until next month.
