Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
The Zacks Industry Rank for the Transportation-Truck industry paints a dull picture, mainly owing to the slowdown in freight demand. We believe stocks like MRTN, CVLG and PAMT are better-positioned to escape industry challenges.
