Read MoreHide Full Article

Ryder System, Inc. (R - Free Report)  is one of the leading providers of integrated logistics and transportation solutions. Product offerings range from full-service leasing, commercial rental and programmed maintenance of vehicles to integrated services such as dedicated contract carriage and carrier management.

However, increased competition could create downward pressure on freight rates and continued rate pressure may adversely affect the company’s profitability. Further, Ryder is exposed to the residual risk on the value of its fleet of vehicles.

Currently, Ryder has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), but that could definitely change following Ryder’s earnings report which was just released. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
