JB Hunt to Report Q3 Earnings: Analysts Expect EPS Growth
J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (JBHT), based in Lowell, Arkansas, is set to announce its fiscal third-quarter earnings for 2025 on Wednesday, Oct. 15, after the stock market today close. Analysts anticipate a profit of $1.49 per share, unchanged from the year-ago quarter.
JBHT's earnings per share (EPS) are expected to grow slightly for the full year, from $5.56 in fiscal 2024 to $5.61 in 2025. Looking ahead, analysts predict a significant increase to $6.86 in fiscal 2026, marking a 22.3% year-over-year rise.
The company provides a wide range of services, including surface transportation, delivery, and logistics for diverse products. Despite a recent earnings miss in Q2, with EPS of $1.31 falling short of expectations, JBHT's stock has a 'Moderate Buy' consensus from analysts. The average price target of $155.29 suggests a potential upside of 15.7% from current stock market levels. However, one analyst out of 25 has a 'Moderate Sell' rating, though their identity is not specified.
JBHT, with a market cap of $12.8 billion, has underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund over the past year. As the company prepares to report its Q3 earnings, investors will be watching to see if it can bounce back from its recent underperformance and meet or exceed analyst expectations on the stock market today.
