JPMorgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck raised the firm’s price target on J.B. Hunt (JBHT) to $180 from $159 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares following the Q2 report. The firm sees the stock catching “a bit of a relief rally.” Intermodal and truckload groups still have a near-term tailwind from better volume in Q2 while J.B. Hunt’s cost savings program “will help dampen” negative earnings revisions in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
