Company Report

Port Strike a Headache for Shippers but a Potential Tailwind for Certain US Transport Stocks

As anticipated, the International Longshoremen’s Association has implemented a work stoppage across US East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. As we understand it, the dockworkers union initially wanted a more than 70% increase in wages over a six-year period in order to return to the negotiating table. Before the strike, it sounded to us as if the Biden administration was signaling hesitancy to intervene via the Taft-Hartley Act. Thus, the potential duration of the strike remains uncertain.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The Kansas City Southern merger, which creates new, seamless intermodal lanes, should yield meaningful opportunities for incremental volume growth.

Bears

Canadian grain carload-volume growth will likely take a breather in 2024 on a less robust late-2023 harvest and a less favorable export backdrop (to China).
