Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to valuation, fundamentals and outlook. Despite the softer-than-anticipated January–February results and a cut to Q1 and full-year 2026 estimates, he views the revenue impact as largely temporary, with management indicating that March trends are tracking to prior expectations and that results for the remaining quarters of 2026 should broadly align with current Street forecasts.
He also highlights that the post-announcement share pullback leaves the stock trading at materially lower EBITDA multiples than both truckload and less-than-truckload peers, creating an attractive entry point. In addition, the Board’s first-ever $15 million share repurchase authorization signals confidence in the company’s long-term earnings power, supporting his $12 price target, which implies substantial upside from current levels and underpins his OUTPERFORM recommendation.
Paris covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as Perdoceo Education, Covista, and Franklin Covey Company. According to TipRanks, Paris has an average return of 17.6% and a 65.54% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released today, Stifel Nicolaus also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
