Susquehanna Upgrades JB Hunt Transport Servs to Positive, Announces $200 Price Target

Goldman Sachs analyst Jordan Alliger reiterated the Buy rating on J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>).
The analyst&#8217;s take on J.B. Hunt suggests a positive outlook. The company showed a 5% growth in intermodal in the third quarter of 2024, driven by a 7% increase in transcontinental and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/jbht/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">double-digit growth in Southern California.</a>
However, according to Alliger, the company&#8217;s intermodal growth lags behind the &#8220;Big Three&#8221; ports, which saw an average increase of 27.5%.
The Big Three West Coast Ports, represented by L.A., Long Beach, and Oakland, reported a 20% year-over-year increase in November 2024 traffic, surpassing the pre-pandemic five-year average of 2%.

However, sequentially, the combined data showed a 6% month-over-month decline, which is below the five-year average.
Despite this, the analyst predicts that the pace of growth could pick up again for J.B. Hunt toward the end of 2024 and into 2025, ahead of any potential tariffs.
The shift towards domestic intermodal is showing positive signs, and there is potential for more imports to move out of West Coast warehouses.
The West Coast ports, regaining share in 2023 and 2024, may further boost J.B. Hunt&#8217;s performance if more ocean freight is diverted to the West Coast amid ongoing contract uncertainties on the East Coast. Despite this, the company&#8217;s growth is still behind the broader industry&#8217;s pace, but the outlook remains favorable with potential upside, Alliger adds.
Price Action: JBHT shares are trading lower by 0.76% to $170.70&nbsp;at the last check Friday.

General

J.B. Hunt's Intermodal Growth Shows Promise Despite Lagging 'Big Three' Ports: Analyst

Predicting the actions of an incoming administration is always tricky, and that's doubly true for someone with a penchant for saber rattling like Donald Trump. While Trump seems committed to another round of tariffs (especially aimed at Chinese imports), the actual size and scope of these moves remains to be seen.
Many business leaders and executives are preparing for new tariffs by readying consumers for increased costs, and the retail sector could be hit hard if the most protective policies come to fruition.
However, not every company stands to suffer from tariff expansion. Some industries, like domestic shippers and specialty retailers, saw a boost in the wake of the election results.
Here are five stocks that stand to benefit from American tariffs on foreign imports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Methodology&nbsp;</h2>
To find stocks that will benefit from tariffs, we need to look for firms with reliable production alternatives outside China and the ability to pass on extra costs to consumers.
If a company&#8217;s main competitors have high import costs or lack that kind of pricing power, even better.
Let&#8217;s go through the list:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>)</h2>
DIY auto store stocks have soared in the post-pandemic era, and the two clear winners have been AutoZone and Oreilly Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>). Both companies have had little issue raising prices during previous tariff implementations, and investors have no reason to assume they won't do the same in the face of the next round.
AutoZone is uniquely positioned to benefit from a higher tariff environment. Even when the first round of tariffs was administered during Trump's initial term, AutoZone still managed to improve its profit margins despite higher costs. Additionally, DIY auto parts stores often hold significant pricing power over consumers since fixing a car is usually a non-negotiable part of life in America (especially in the suburbs). CEO Philip Daniele <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">recently stated</a> that the company intends to pass any tariff increases back onto consumers, which could prompt a flurry of car repair activity before the calendar flips to 2025.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1365" height="536" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130112/AZO.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661491" style="width:917px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130112/AZO.png 1365w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130112/AZO-300x118.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130112/AZO-1024x402.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130112/AZO-768x302.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px" /></figure>
We selected AutoZone over O'Reilly Automotive due to a combination of valuation and analyst ratings. Some of the fundamental valuation factors compared include:
<figure class="wp-block-table"> 
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Metric</td>
<td>AZO</td>
<td>ORLY</td>

<tr>
<td>Price to Earnings (P/E)</td>

<td>2.99</td>
<td>4.32</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PEG Ratio</td>
<td>1.67</td>
<td>1.89</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</figure>
Based on most fundamental metrics, AutoZone is the cheaper stock to own, and analysts seem to agree. Based on reports from 25 different analysts, AZO shares are a consensus Buy, while ORLY is a consensus Hold. AZO&#8217;s three most recent price targets indicate more than 12% upside potential, while recent price targets on ORLY shares indicate only a 4% upside.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">e.l.f. Beauty Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELF#NYSE">ELF</a>)</h2>
Another company that has previously had success managing trade war battles is e.l.f. Beauty, which sells cosmetic products such as lipstick, eyeliner, foundation, and other skin care products. The company has a solid domestic and international footprint and has products in stores ranging from high-end shops like Ulta Beauty Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NYSE">ULTA</a>) to drugstores like Rite-Aid.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="402" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130120/ELF-1024x402.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661492" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130120/ELF-1024x402.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130120/ELF-300x118.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130120/ELF-768x302.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130120/ELF.png 1365w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
E.l.f. Beauty relies heavily on Chinese imports but remains on our list because CEO Tarang Amin is confident the company has both the pricing power and supply chain infrastructure to withstand any tariffs until 2026. The company informed customers back in August to expect prices to increase during a potential 2nd Trump term, which could increase sales in the short term as shoppers stock up on their favorite products before the administration can levy new tariffs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>)</h2>
One industry that seems set to benefit from tariffs with minimal downside is domestic shipping and trucking companies. As more retail and consumer discretionary firms move production back to the United States (or at least closer to shore), railways, trucking firms, and other companies focusing on intermodal and last-mile transportation could benefit greatly. One shipping stock that saw a boost in the immediate aftermath of Trump's election was JBHT.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="402" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130124/JBHT-1024x402.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661493" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130124/JBHT-1024x402.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130124/JBHT-300x118.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130124/JBHT-768x302.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130124/JBHT.png 1365w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
J.B. Hunt is one of the largest domestic transportation companies in the United States. One of its main businesses is loading and unloading shipping containers from railcars. If manufacturers re-shore or near-shore their operations closer to domestic shipping channels, stocks like JBHT could rapidly increase as revenue is boosted by expanding domestic rail usage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</h2>
If physical goods like electronics, cars, and clothes are going to get more expensive, an excellent place to invest will be services that trade in intellectual property. And after setting records for viewership and gate at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, Netflix is poised to steamroll into one of the few places it hasn't dared tread: live sports. On Christmas Day, Netflix will air two exclusive NFL games with significant playoff implications when the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs visit the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens take on the Houston Texans.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="402" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130130/NFLX-1024x402.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661494" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130130/NFLX-1024x402.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130130/NFLX-300x118.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130130/NFLX-768x302.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130130/NFLX.png 1365w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
To borrow some terms from boxing, Netflix has knocked out its competition in the streaming wars. The company boasts more than 247 million subscribers in 2024, far outpacing Amazon's Prime Video's 200 million (and you don't get the benefits of Prime shipping with Netflix). Disney+ is growing rapidly but still sits nearly 100 million subs behind Netflix.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>)</h3>
Toy maker Hasbro has been a trendsetter when it comes to moving production out of China. The company began moving its operations away from the communist regime in 2012, citing "enterprise risk," the transition has drastically limited the company's exposure to tariffs, showcasing strategic foresight and a proactive approach.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="402" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130134/HAS-1024x402.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661495" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130134/HAS-1024x402.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130134/HAS-300x118.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130134/HAS-768x302.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22130134/HAS.png 1365w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Hasbro makes popular toys, board games, and party favorites under brands like Parker Brothers, Milton Bradley, Kenner, and its own name. While most of its products had traditionally been made in China, the company began its exit in 2012 and reduced Chinese manufacturing to the United States to 50% as of 2020. While the company still depends significantly on Chinese imports, analysts believe the business is <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20241021639/hasbro-and-mattel-are-relatively-insulated-from-china-tariffs-they-would-still-hurt">better insulated</a> from tariff costs than its peers like Mattel. Plus, many toys were granted a reprieve from the initial tariff blast in 2017, and it&#8217;s possible that carveouts could be on deck for companies like Hasbro that moved production out of China.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on JB Hunt Transport Servs, Raises Price Target to $227

The fear of contraction and analysts&#39; sentiment pressured J.B. Hunt (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) stock to a long-term low earlier this year, but a shift signals the opposite for 2025. The Q3 results weren&#39;t robust&mdash;far from it&mdash;but they came in better than feared.&nbsp;They reaffirmed the longer-term outlook and the reliability of capital returns, spurring analysts to raise their<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/JBHT/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> stock price targets</a> and revert to the long-term trend.&nbsp;
The critical takeaway is that economic normalization following the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/jb-hunt-stock-at-an-inflection-point-with-new-highs-in-sight/">headwinds impact</a> J.B. Hunt&#39;s results this year. However, its diversified <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/transportation/">trucking and logistics</a> business is still good, up nearly 25% compared to 2020, with growth expected to resume next year. It may be a few more quarters before significant improvement is seen in the results. Still, broad economic improvement and business tailwinds are expected to form in 2025 due to falling interest rates. Until then, capital returns are reliable.&nbsp;
<h3>J.B. Hunt&#39;s Diversified Business Can Sustain Its Capital Return</h3>
J.B. Hunt didn&#39;t have <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/JBHT/earnings/">a strong quarter</a>, but the $3.07 billion in net revenue, down 2.8% year-over-year (YoY), was nearly 200 basis points better than the consensus reported by MarketBeat and closer to 500 bps above the whisper figures. The primary cause of the decline is a 5% and 6% decrease in revenue per load in the intermodal and trucking segments, compounded by volume weakness in the integrated and dedicated capacity solutions businesses. Final Mile also contributed to the weakness with fewer stops.&nbsp;
Strengths included the intermodal segment reporting an increase in volume and ICS a 3% increase in revenue per load. Segmentally, the intermodal business produced flat results, with volume offsetting the decline in revenue per load while all others contracted. Trucking was the weakest link, with a 12% YoY decline in revenue but still a solid result regarding the company&#39;s financial health and capacity for capital return.&nbsp;
Margin news is also mixed. The company experienced margin compression due to deleveraging and increased personal and equipment expenses but, again, not as bad as feared.
The 90 basis point contraction in the operating margin left income down 7% and the net income by 17%, but still well above forecasts. The $1.49 in GAAP EPS is $0.08 ahead of forecasts, more than 500 basis points, and sufficient to sustain operational quality and capital returns.&nbsp;
Capital returns include the dividend, which yields about 0.8% with shares near $182.5, and share repurchases. Share repurchases were accelerated this year, and the count was reduced by an average of 2.15% year over year during the quarter.&nbsp;
<h3>Analysts&#39; Support Improving For The J.B. Hunt Freight Wagon</h3>
Analysts&#39; support for J.B. Hunt has been firm, with sentiment pegged at Moderate Buy for over a year. However, a trend of reduced price targets weighed on the price action over the summer, a trend that ended with the Q3 results. The initial reaction was very bullish, with more than a dozen analysts tracked by MarketBeat increasing their price target. The consensus is now rising, indicating fair value near the mid-point of the multi-year trading range, with fresh target pointing to higher levels. The high range of analysts&#39; targets suggests a move to the high end of the trading range, with a gain of 10% to 20% possible by the year&#39;s end.&nbsp;
The price action in JBHT stock is favorable following the release. The market surged more than 5% at the high, confirming support and reversal at the low end of a trading range. However, resistance is present at the middle of the range, consistent with the top of a price gap formed earlier this year, and may cap gains in Q4. Trading at <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/jb-hunt-hits-the-skids-lower-prices-to-come/">30x its earnings</a> and yielding less than 1%, JBHT is a highly valued stock yielding less than the S&amp;P 500 average, which is a headwind for the market. Assuming the market cannot close above $182.75, JBHT will likely remain range-bound until more news is available.&nbsp;

Small-cap stocks outperformed large caps in Wednesday's session, with the Russell 2000 Index surging to test July 2024 highs on the back of expectations for interest rate cuts and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regional-banks">strong rally in regional banks. </a>
Financial stocks continued their upward momentum, buoyed by strong earnings reports. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) significantly beat expectations, propelling its stock up by 8% to new all-time highs.
Regional banks, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), rallied 2.1%, hitting levels last seen in early March 2023, prior to the fallout of Silicon Valley Bank.
Airlines also soared, with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) posting an 11% rally. The surge lifted the entire industry, as tracked by the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), which reached its highest level since July 2023.
The tech sector lagged, weighed down by weak performance in semiconductors. The industry was still reeling from ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)&#8217;s earnings shock on Tuesday, after the company slashed its 2025 revenue outlook, triggering a broad selloff in chipmakers.
Both the Nasdaq 100 and semiconductor stocks remained flat on Wednesday.
In the currency market, the U.S. Dollar Index was poised to log its 12th positive day in the last 13 sessions. Treasury yields edged lower. Oil prices saw a slight decline of 0.6%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude falling below $70 per barrel.
Precious metals offered positive signals, with gold set to close its fifth consecutive day of gains, while silver rose 0.8%.
In the cryptocurrency space, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advanced 1%, reaching $68,000 — its highest level since late July 2024.
