  • Benchmark analyst Christopher Kuhn reiterated a Buy rating on Hub Group Inc HUBG with a price target of $110.
  • The analyst expects the company's intermodal price/load to be pressured this year, negatively impacting margins. 
  • The analyst lowered the 1Q EPS estimate to $1.85 from $1.97, given caution around demand trends.
  • FY23 EPS is reduced to $7.42 from $7.71, which is now down 30% compared to 2022. FY24 estimate is reduced to $7.65 from $8.03.
  • However, new rail relationships, cost levers, strong balance sheet and FCF should provide less earnings volatility over the long term.
  • Price Action: HUBG shares are trading higher by 0.72% at $81.17 on the last check Friday.
