Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Landstar has a history of excellent execution and healthy EPS growth throughout the freight cycle. We expect that to persist.

Bears

Freight demand is amid a pullback due to muted retailer restocking and sluggish industrial end markets. Thus, Landstar's truck brokerage operations will see top-line and margin pressure throughout 2023.

Company Profile

Landstar System is an agent based asset-light third-party logistics provider focused on domestic truck brokerage (90% of revenue). Historically, roughly half of its truck transportation freight is hauled by leased owner-operators with the remainder hauled by third-party broker-carriers. To a smaller degree, it offers intermodal, global air and ocean forwarding, and warehousing services. Landstar also runs a small business that offers insurance programs to captive owner-operators. It has a long history of industry-leading execution and operating profitability.
