Article Stock Quotes (1) Comments (0)

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ: JBHT) price target raised from $53 to $56.

Analyst, Peter Nesvold said, "We like the JBHT story, execution, and the company’s continued opportunity in the intermodal market. We believe the company's variable cost model will remain attractive during a rising interest rate and inflationary TL operating cost environment. Trading at a fully-valued 20.9x forward consensus estimates and with decelerating growth vs. difficult comps in 2012, we remain on the sidelines." (FY12 EPS estimate raised from $2.47 to $2.62 and FY13 from $2.85 to $3.01)
