Lowell, Arkansas-based J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (JBHT) provides surface transportation, delivery, and logistics services in the United States. With a market cap of $13.8 billion, the company operates through five segments: Intermodal (JBI), Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS), Final Mile Services (FMS), and Truckload (JBT).
Companies worth $10 billion or more are typically referred to as “large-cap stocks.” JBHT fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the integrated freight & logistics industry.

JBHT stock has been trading below its 200-day moving average since mid-February and mostly above its 50-day moving average since mid-May.
On Apr. 15, JBHT stock declined 2% following the release of its Q1 earnings. The trucking and logistics company posted revenue of $2.92 billion in the period, which met Street forecasts. Moreover, its adjusted earnings for the quarter amounted to $1.17, surpassing the consensus estimates by 1.7%.
Within the integrated freight & logistics industry, rival Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (EXPD) has grown 2.1% in 2025 and has declined 9.2% over the past year, slightly outperforming the stock.
Among the 24 analysts covering the JBHT stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $151.33 suggests a modest 8.9% upside potential from current price levels.
