JPMorgan Upgrades Werner Enterprises To Neutral, Sees 10% Upside

  • JPMorgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck upgraded Werner Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:WERN) to Neutral from Underweight and raised the price target to $47 (an upside of 10.1%) from $44.
  • Ossenbeck says the company's strategy to replace tractors off-cycle, "aggressive" recruiting of drivers, and significant investment growing the dedicated fleet represents a focus on growth through the cycle.
  • The analyst believes the dedicated business should provide "greater stability" long-term but adds some operations can still require support from a stronger freight market to maximize backhauls.
