Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $JB Hunt Transport Services (JBHT.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
J.B. Hunt's third-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $1.49 declined by 9% compared to the same period last year, yet surpassed the anticipated $1.35 and the consensus estimate of $1.39. This outperformance was driven by higher-than-expected Intermodal Load growth, as shippers accelerated their shipments in preparation for a potential East Coast Port strike. In light of these results, the EPS estimate for 2024 has been revised upward marginally to $5.70, while the 2025 EPS forecast remains at $7.80, notably above the consensus average of $7.27.
Expectations were moderate, but improved intermodal volume and yield trends have contributed to a slightly more positive outlook as 2024 approaches. This is despite apprehensions that recent activity may be spurred by temporary 'pull forward' measures.
The firm's analysis following J.B. Hunt's Q3 results indicates that while earnings exceeded expectations, the performance closely mirrored that of previous quarters, with the observation that demand was consistently weak.
J.B. Hunt's Q3 earnings per share surpassed the general expectations, supported by intermodal volumes that contributed to the positive outcome. Although not specified in detail, inventory strategies played a significant role in the results. Despite the positive aspects observed during the quarter, there remain challenges regarding pricing, volume, and cost savings that will require attention in the upcoming year.

此外，综合报道，$JB亨特运输服务 (JBHT.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
J.b.亨特(J.b. Hunt)第三季度每股收益(EPS)为1.49美元，较去年同期下降了9%，但超过了预期的1.35美元和共识预估的1.39美元。这一超出表现得益于超出预期的联运货量增长，承运商加快了装运以应对潜在的东海岸港口罢工。鉴于这些结果，2024年的EPS预估略有上调至5.70美元，而2025年的EPS预测保持在7.80美元，明显高于共识平均值7.27美元。
预期是中等的，但改善的联运成交量和良好的运价趋势为逼近的2024年增添了一丝积极的展望。尽管担忧最近的活动可能受到暂时性的“提前拉动”措施的推动。
公司在J.b.亨特(J.b. Hunt)第三季度业绩发布后的分析表明，尽管收益超出预期，但表现与前几季度非常接近，观察到需求一直较为疲弱。
