Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Intermodal shipping enjoys positive long-term trends, particularly secular constraints on truckload capacity growth and shippers' efforts to minimize transportation costs through mode conversions (truck to rail).

Bears

Lackluster retail sector inventory replenishment is a near-term headwind to Hunt's overall freight volume.

Company Profile

Hub Group ranks among the largest providers of rail intermodal service. Roughly 60% of revenue comes from Hub's intermodal and transportation solutions division. ITS includes its flagship intermodal operations, which use the Class I rail carriers for the underlying line-haul movement of containers, as well as its dedicated truckload shipping unit. Hub's logistics segment includes its asset light truck brokerage operations, along with its outsourced transportation management, warehousing and fulfillment, and heavy-goods final mile delivery offerings. Hub is somewhat acquisitive in that it often makes tuck-in acquisitions which expand its brokerage, last-mile, and dedicated offerings.
