Hub Group's Intermodal Revenue Is Still Falling, but Inflection Is Likely in 2024

Matthew Young

Hub Group is the second-largest intermodal marketing company, or IMC, and also ranks among the 25 largest asset-light truck brokers in terms of gross revenue. In its flagship intermodal division, Hub contracts with the Class I railroads for the line-haul movement of its owned containers. It operates the second-largest fleet in the industry, with access to more than 40,000 containers. By gross revenue, J.B. Hunt is the largest IMC, followed by Hub and the intermodal divisions of STG Logistics, Schneider National and Knight Swift.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Intermodal shipping enjoys positive long-term trends, particularly secular constraints on truckload capacity growth and shippers' efforts to minimize transportation costs through mode conversions (truck to rail).

Bears

Intermodal container demand and rates will face lingering pressure in first-half 2024 from depressed rates in the competing full-truckload industry.

Company Profile

Hub Group ranks among the largest providers of rail intermodal service. Roughly 60% of revenue comes from Hub's intermodal and transportation solutions division. ITS includes its flagship intermodal operations, which use the Class I rail carriers for the underlying line-haul movement of containers, as well as its dedicated truckload shipping unit. Hub's logistics segment includes its asset light truck brokerage operations, along with its outsourced transportation management, warehousing and fulfillment, and heavy-goods final mile delivery offerings. Hub is somewhat acquisitive in that it often makes tuck-in acquisitions which expand its brokerage, last-mile, and dedicated offerings.
