Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Descartes operates the largest neutral shipping network, connecting parties across air, land, and sea transportation modes.

Bears

Descartes’ acquisition model makes organic performance impossible to parse out and makes ROICs look worse. Acquisitions may also increase costs, distract management with integration issues, and increase the risk of overpayment.
