Stocks Mostly Down Pre-Bell as Investors Await More Earnings, Retail Sales Data
US equity markets were mostly tracking in the red before the opening bell Thursday as traders await the latest round of earnings and the June retail sales report.The S&P 500 edged down 0.1% and the Nasdaq was off 0.5% in premarket activity, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%. The three main indexes finished Wednesday trading higher for the second consecutive session.UnitedHealth (UNH), GE Aerospace (GE), Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Prologis (PLD), US Bancorp (USB), State Street (STT) and Citizens Financial (CFG) are expected to report their latest financial results before the bell, among others. Streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) posts its earnings after the markets close.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's (TSM) US-listed shares declined 3.9% pre-bell after the semiconductor manufacturer reported its second-quarter results. United Airlines (UAL) was down 2.3% as the air carrier flagged an additional $6 billion in fuel costs for 2026 amid rising oil prices.J.B.

Earlier in the week, an official report showed that consumer prices decreased last month for the first time in more than six years."While still nominally elevated at a dangerously high level, the relative improvement in inflation in June emboldens the more dovish argument that price pressures are already cooling and could retreat further into year-end as the lingering impact from tariffs falls off and energy prices potentially normalize amid -- still tentative -- but ongoing, US-Iran peace negotiations," Stifel said in a note Wednesday.US Treasury yields were up in premarket action, with the two-year rate increasing 3.2 basis points to 4.16% and the 10-year rate adding 2.8 basis points to 4.57%.Thursday's economic calendar also has the weekly jobless claims bulletin at 8:30 am, along with the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index for July. The housing market index for the current month and the pending home sales index for June are both out at 10 am.Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid are all slated to speak on Thursday.Inflation is more likely to accelerate than cool given price pressures arising from an artificial intelligence boom and major supply shocks, Fed Governor Lisa Cook said Wednesday. Separately, New York Fed President John Williams said that inflation should ease in the next few quarters as energy prices retreat.West Texas Intermediate crude oil dipped less than 0.1% to $79.59 a barrel before the open, while Brent nudged down 0.3% to $84.72.The US Central Command said Wednesday its forces disabled an unladen oil tanker attempting to transit towards an Iranian port in the Arabian Gulf. The US resumed its naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports earlier this week.A spokesperson for Iran's top military command reportedly said Thursday that it will destroy key infrastructure in the Middle East if the US follows through on President Donald Trump's threat to attack power plants and bridges in the country in case a deal isn't finalized, CNBC reported.Gold decreased 0.3% to $4,039 per troy ounce, while bitcoin fell 1.1% to $64,176.

J.B. Hunt Transport Poised for Continued Outperformance, Deutsche Bank Says
J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) is expected to continue to outperform peers despite a year-to-date rally in its stock amid favorable industry trends, Deutsche Bank said Thursday.The transportation and logistics company's shares have jumped nearly 46% so far this year. The stock is up "an enviable" 100% since the company's third-quarter earnings call in October and better than all its closest transportation peers, Deutsche Bank analyst Richa Harnain said in a note to clients."Despite this impressive outperformance, we continue to see strong upside potential ahead," Harnain said.The company's shares were up 1% in Thursday afternoon trade.The price gap between intermodal and all-highway shipping solutions is an "unprecedented" 35%, which could be a "game-changer" for J.B. Hunt, according to the note."By some measures, such a gap between the two offerings has never been wider," Harnain said. "We believe trends explaining the gap (rising fuel plus capacity tightness) are sustainable, and could finally unlock intermodal's long-awaited secular growth, potentially doubling its market size over the coming years."Energy prices have surged due to supply disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.A "record-breaking" 60% of shippers have recently moved to rail from truck, Deutsche Bank said, citing Journal of Commerce data from journalist Ari Ashe's intermodal scorecard survey."We think (J.B. Hunt) is best positioned to benefit from such a trend," Harnain said. "Beyond the obvious reasons, our recent deep dive has brought to light several 'under-the-radar' elements of the (J.B. Hunt) story that make its future even more compelling."In April, the company posted better-than-expected first-quarter results as it recorded revenue growth in most of its business segments amid robust demand for its service offerings.Price: $282.69, Change: $+2.64, Percent Change: +0.94%

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of J.b. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month price target by $5 to $175, using a forward P/E of 20.4x our 2027 EPS estimate of $8.57, broadly in line with historical averages. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.33 to $7.26 and 2027's by $0.48 to $8.57. We project revenues of $12.9B in 2026 and $13.7B in 2027. While JBHT delivered a solid quarter, with 5% revenue growth and strong 27% EPS growth, we remain doubtful about the company's ability to sustain margin expansion despite aggressive cost-cutting measures. We anticipate several headwinds in 2026, including rising wages due to an ongoing driver shortage, declining driver supply due to new regulatory requirements, and higher insurance costs. We believe the stock is currently overvalued at a forward P/E of 29.9x, which is near its decade high and 33% above its 10-year historical average. This premium is unjustified given the challenges ahead. Despite JBHT increasing its dividend for 22 straight years, shares yield just 0.8%.

J.B. Hunt First-Quarter Results Top Street Views
J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results as the transportation and logistics company recorded revenue growth in most of its business segments amid robust demand for its service offerings.Net earnings increased to $1.49 per share for the March quarter from $1.17 the year before, the company said late Wednesday, topping the consensus on FactSet of $1.44. Revenue improved 5% to $3.06 billion, ahead of the Street's view for $2.96 billion.The stock rose 2% in Thursday's most recent premarket activity."We experienced strong demand for our service offerings as a predominantly supply-driven freight recovery continued to gain steam, coupled with some modest improvements in demand," Chief Financial Officer Brad Delco said during an earnings call, according to a FactSet transcript. "This momentum was partially offset by the impact of weather, which negatively impacted incremental margins in the quarter."The company saw fuel surcharge programs protect its operations from volatility in fuel prices, Delco said on the call. "Fuel is generally a pass-through expense and typically has a small impact on profit dollars quarter-to-quarter," the CFO added.Energy prices have soared in the aftermath of the US-Israel war with Iran that began at the end of February, curtailing shipments through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.Sales in J.B. Hunt's intermodal business increased 2% to $1.5 billion boosted by a 3% gain in load volume. "Intermodal is a very fuel efficient solution for our customers," Delco told analysts. "So higher fuel prices enhance the value proposition of our leading intermodal franchise."Dedicated contract services sales inclined 2% to $840.6 million, driven by a 2% rise in productivity, or gross revenue per truck per week. The integrated capacity solutions segment saw revenue jump 20% to $322.7 million as volume climbed 10% on a yearly basis, while truckload sales advanced 23% to $205.4 million.Revenue in the final mile services segment declined 6% due to the impact of previously disclosed lost business, as well as demand stabilization across many of the company's end markets, but at lower levels than the prior-year period, J.B. Hunt said."We are executing extremely well across the organization on operational excellence in service, safety and lowering our cost to serve," according to Delco. "Without any meaningful tailwinds from price driven by this recent market inflection, we have already put ourselves on a path to restoring our margins."
