<h3>Comparing JB Hunt Transport Servs P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 38.83 in the Ground Transportation industry, JB Hunt Transport Servs Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.83. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747422058_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday requiring commercial truck drivers to demonstrate English language proficiency, a move that could significantly impact the logistics and transportation sectors.
What Happened: The order, announced by The White House&#8217;s official Rapid Response account, directs the Department of Transportation to enforce existing regulations under 49 C.F.R. 391.11(b)(2) that mandate drivers must &#8220;read and speak the English language sufficiently&#8221; to operate commercial vehicles safely.
&#8220;Drivers need to provide feedback to their employers and customers and receive related directions in English. This is common sense,&#8221; The White House said. 
&#8220;Within 60 days, the Secretary of Transportation shall rescind the 2016 guidance document on English language proficiency and issue new enforcement procedures,&#8221; the executive order states. The order also requires that violations result in drivers being placed &#8220;out-of-service,&#8221; effectively grounding them until compliance is achieved.
This directive follows Trump&#8217;s March 1 executive order designating English as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44066047/trump-to-declare-english-official-language-of-us-what-does-executive-mean?utm_source=chatgpt.com">official national language</a> of the United States, continuing his administration&#8217;s focus on language policy.

Shares of companies in the broader industrial sector are trading higher following US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's reported remarks about trade de-escalation with China.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) trades higher Thursday. This comes after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44827812/jb-hunt-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-shares-skid">lackluster earnings report.</a> First quarter earnings per share came in at $1.17, while analysts were looking for $1.19.
Traders are watching how the stock reacts around the important $128.00 level.&nbsp; Two weeks ago it was support. Now it is resistance. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
Most volume for a stock typically trades at the opening and closing prices. This is why short-term traders need to know where these levels have recently been in their stocks. Because a lot of volume trades at these prices, they can become support and resistance levels.
Previous highs and lows on a day can be important as well. This isn't because heavy volume typically trades at them. It's more due to investor and trader psychology.

As you can see on the chart below, the low trades on Friday, April 4, Monday, April 7, Tuesday, April 8, and Friday, April 11 were close to $128. The opening price on Wednesday, April 9 was $128.22.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="549" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7-1024x549.png" alt="" class="wp-image-877463" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7-1024x549.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7-300x161.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7-768x412.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7-1536x824.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/17145349/one7.png 1557w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Now that the stock has dropped below $128, many traders and investors who bought it around this price regret doing so. Some decide to sell if they can get out at breakeven.
They placed sell orders at or around $128. This is why there was resistance there yesterday. It was the opening price, and then the shares sold off over the course of the day and closed almost four points lower. And as for now, they seem to have found resistance there again in Thursday's trading.
If this resistance breaks, meaning JBHT trades and holds above it, it will illustrate an important dynamic. It will mean that the sellers have either finished or canceled their orders. This could set the stage for a move higher because buyers will have to outbid each other to draw sellers into the market.
Savvy traders understand the importance of knowing where the recent opens, closes, highs, and lows have been. This allows them to profit.

Risk sentiment took a sharp blow Wednesday afternoon after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell linked rising tariffs to higher inflation and slower growth, while making it clear the central bank has no intention <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">of cushioning market losses.</a>
In remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago, Powell said the inflationary effects of tariffs could be more persistent than previously thought, and warned that current policy uncertainty makes it difficult to gauge their full impact. 
Most notably for Wall Street, Powell addressed the notion of a so-called "Fed put"—the belief that the central bank would intervene if markets drop sharply—and offered a blunt response: "I'm going to say no."
That single line pushed traders to recalibrate expectations for any near-term monetary support.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Tumble As Chipmakers Extend Losses</h3>
By 3:15 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – had dropped 3.1% to 5,230 points, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) plunged 4.1% to 18,050, dragged down by the tech-heavy weighting of the index. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 838 points, or 2.1%, and the Russell 2000 small-cap index also fell 2.1%.
Nearly every sector turned red, with the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) nosediving 5%. Energy stocks were the sole exception, buoyed by higher crude prices and safe-haven commodity demand.
Semiconductors were particularly hard hit following fresh export restrictions on Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips to China. 
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) plummeted 6.8%, with Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) both down around 10%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Shines In Flight To Safety</h3>
As stocks tumbled, gold prices climbed, continuing their powerful 2025 rally. The precious metal hit new record highs, rising to over $2,350 an ounce, and is now up 26% year to date. 
With the Nasdaq 100 down 23% over the same period, gold has outperformed the tech index by nearly 50% in less than four months.
Gold's appeal has grown amid mounting inflation concerns, policy uncertainty, and geopolitical tension.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell: No Market Rescue This Time</h3>
Powell's refusal to endorse the "Fed put" marked a sharp shift in tone from the central bank's more accommodative stance in past downturns. While he acknowledged market volatility, he said both equity and bond markets were "functioning" and "orderly."
"Markets are struggling with a lot of uncertainty, and that means volatility," Powell said. "But having said that, markets are functioning."
The Fed chair emphasized that rate decisions will continue to focus on economic data, especially inflation and employment, and not on asset prices.

Stocks Sink As Powell Dismisses 'Fed Put' Safety Net, Gold Extends Massive Lead Over Nasdaq

Stephens &amp; Co. analyst Justin Long reiterated an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JBHT/analyst-ratings">Overweight rating </a>on the shares of J B Hunt Transport Services Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $170.00 to $165.00.
JBHT posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44827812/jb-hunt-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-shares-skid">first-quarter FY25 earnings per share</a> of $1.17, topping both internal and consensus forecasts. 
The upside was largely due to stronger intermodal revenue, reduced losses in its Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) unit, and lower tax and interest costs, said the analyst.
J.B. Hunt's Intermodal (JBI) segment outperformed expectations, with volumes rising 7.6% year-over-year and contributing $0.07 in EPS upside, driven by strong growth in the Eastern network. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44825498/bofa-downgrades-pepsico-as-analyst-sees-limited-potential-until-2026">PepsiCo Still A Buy? Not Anymore As Analysts &#8216;Run Out Of Answers&#8217;</a>
The Dedicated segment slightly beat revenue and margin estimates, adding $0.01 to EPS. 
However, weaker Final Mile Services (FMS) and Truckload (JBT) performance weighed on results. Intermodal volumes declined more than seasonal norms but still outperformed expectations. 
Final Mile revenue met projections, but weaker margins resulted in a $0.04 EPS hit. Brokerage missed revenue estimates but narrowed losses, adding $0.04 to EPS. Truckload revenue came in slightly light, and lower margins led to a $0.03 EPS shortfall.
The company continues to reduce ICS expenses and could achieve profitability in that segment this year. JBHT repurchased about 1% of its shares and maintains a focus on shareholder returns.
Price Action: JBHT shares traded lower by 8.47% at $123.68 at last check on Wednesday.

Intermodal Strength Drives J B Hunt Transport's Q1 Beat, Says Analyst

U.S. major indices traded lower at midday Wednesday, pressured by sharp declines in tech and semiconductor stocks after Washington tightened chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">export restrictions to China.</a>
The U.S. government has barred Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) from selling its H20 chips to China — a move that could wipe out an estimated $5.5 billion from the company's projected quarterly revenue. Nvidia shares slid nearly 7%.
Other chipmakers also felt the heat. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 6% as its MI308 chips fall under the new licensing requirements.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sank 3.4%, extending the sector&#8217;s losses. Adding to the drag, Dutch chip equipment giant ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) missed quarterly revenue estimates, sending its shares down 5%.
On the macro front, March retail sales surprised to the upside, rising 1.4% month-over-month — topping forecasts of 1.3% and marking the strongest monthly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44837237/march-retail-sales-post-highest-surge-in-over-two-years-as-us-consumers-anticipate-tariff-jitters">gain since January 2023.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw renewed selling pressure, with the dollar index dipping back below 100. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield holding steady near 4.33%.
Gold continued its stellar run, surging 2.5% to a fresh record high of $3,320 per ounce as demand for safe-haven assets remains robust.
In commodities, oil prices rebounded sharply, with WTI crude climbing 2% to $62 a barrel. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also edged up 1.3% to around $84,500.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago later this afternoon.
