In other recent news, Marten Transport has reported its fourth-quarter earnings, revealing an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.07, which exceeded both Stephens’ and the consensus estimate of $0.06. This earnings beat was primarily due to improved margin leverage in its trucking segments, although the intermodal segment remained a challenge due to competitive pricing. Stephens analyst Jack Atkins responded by raising the price target for Marten Transport’s shares to $19.00, up from the previous target of $18.00, while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock. The analyst noted that any significant improvement in the intermodal segment would depend on a recovery in pricing during the bid season. Looking forward, Stephens anticipates that rate improvements in the truckload and dedicated segments will outpace ongoing cost inflation in 2025, contributing to better operating ratio leverage. The firm also expects further utilization enhancements to positively impact Marten Transport’s operating ratio. Stephens’ confidence in Marten Transport’s potential for growth and profitability is reflected in the adjusted price target and the maintained Overweight rating.
