Analysis

Beloved champion

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. sits in the top corner of our grid: excellent business, premium price; every investor already knows the story.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 36.7×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 14% a year, against analyst forecasts of 19%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
