April 17, 2024

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) reported downbeat first-quarter 2024 results on Tuesday.

Operating revenue fell 9% Y/Y to $2.94 billion, missing the consensus of $3.12 billion. EPS of $1.22 missed the consensus of $1.52, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

In the first quarter of 2024, the company repurchased shares worth $25 million. As of March 31, 2024, J.B. Hunt had around $366 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

As of March 31, 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $64 million.

J.B. Hunt Transport shares fell 1.1% to close at $182.99 on Tuesday.
