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

Expeditors has a long history of impressive execution and industry-leading profitability throughout the business cycle. Its non-asset-based operating model has generated average returns on capital near 40% over the past decade.

Bears

Elevated macroeconomic uncertainty could keep a lid on retail-sector restocking activity for an extended period of time, thus pressuring underlying air and ocean demand levels.
