John Larkin commented, "Hub Group reported 2016 third quarter earnings after market close Wednesday, October 26th that reflected admirable operating performance despite a very challenging operating environment. Numbers had been trimmed a few points and expectations tempered a bit. On Thursday, October 27th, HUBG saw a significant amount of negative trading activity which we think was overdone. We see this as a buying opportunity and are increasing our rating from Hold to Buy. "
