JB Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) consistently appeared in news due to its various business activities. The company, dubbed as a 'Barometer of Business' by Jim Cramer, had a
mixed Q4 earnings report. Their EPS was up 4%, but revenue saw a decline. JBHT increased their
quarterly dividend and had a favorable return of 61% over the last five years.
Leadership changes were announced, while their top executives revealed strategic insights at several elite Wall Street events. Despite missing Q1 2024 EPS and Revenue expectations, JBHT had its share of positive milestones - marking 35 years in Intermodal service, earning a spot on Newsweek's Most Reliable Companies 2025 list, joining elite Dow Jones Sustainability rankings, and making its largest-ever veterans tribute mission. Notably, JBHT also launched a
solar facility to offset as much as 80% of the main corporate campus building's power usage. Despite these strides, the company's balance sheet was termed 'somewhat strained', and it was suggested they had more work to do to multiply in value.
