Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Proficient Auto Logistics’ growth and valuation profile. He notes that fourth quarter revenue surpassed both his forecast and consensus despite softer U.S. auto sales, helped by the Brothers Auto Transport acquisition and new customer wins, and he views the margin shortfall as largely a function of temporary fixed-cost deleverage.
He also highlights management’s 2026 outlook for continued revenue gains and operating ratio improvement as restructuring actions and insurance trends normalize, supporting an expected acceleration in earnings. With the stock trading at a sizable discount to both truckload and LTL peers on projected EBITDA and his $12 target implying roughly 44% upside using a conservative multiple, Paris believes the shares offer attractive risk‑reward and merit an OUTPERFORM/Buy rating.
