KeyBanc Starts Swift Transportation (SWFT) at Hold; Trying To Get Those Loads Delivered

Article Stock Quotes (1) Comments (0)

KeyBanc initiates coverage on Swift Transportation (NYSE: SWFT) with a Hold.

Analyst, Todd C. Fowler, said, "As the largest publicly-traded truckload carrier and reflecting its current capital structure, shares have the most leverage to changes in truckload fundamentals within our coverage, particularly pricing dynamics. On an intermediate-term basis, we maintain a constructive outlook reflecting balanced industry-wide capacity at the current level of economic activity (including below trend housing and employment), which, in our view, could tighten and drive favorable pricing dynamics in a stronger economic scenario longer term. Near term, our recent due diligence suggests freight activity is impacted by low economic growth and uncertain shipper outlooks, only allowing for low single-digit rate increases that essentially cover cost inflation."
