We have recently updated a report on ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc. (ZTO - Free Report) .
The long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for ZTO Express is pegged at 18.2%.
Strong performance in the core express delivery services unit is encouraging. Revenues from the unit increased 29.2% year over year in the first nine months of 2021, owing to an increase in parcel volumes. With the rapid growth in the e-commerce business, ZTO Express registered recent growth in parcel volume. The company anticipates parcel volumes in the range of 22.2-22.7 billion in 2021, indicating a rise of 30.6-33.5% year over year.
ZTO exited the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of RMB 10.36 billion, higher than its short-term bank borrowings of $4.43 billion. This implies that the company has enough cash to pay off its short-term debt obligations.
Despite the above-mentioned tailwinds, high selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses might stoke operating expenses and hurt the bottom line.
The long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for J.B. Hunt is pegged at 15%. JBHT is benefiting from strong performances across all its segments. The Dedicated Contract Services (DCS) unit is being aided by fleet-productivity improvement and a rise in average revenue-producing trucks. The Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) unit is gaining from a favorable customer freight mix as well as higher contractual and spot rates.
JBHT’s measures to reward shareholders are encouraging. Driven by the tailwinds, the stock has increased 35.3% in the past year. J.B. Hunt currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
The long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for FedEx is pegged at 12%. FDX is benefitting from a surge in e-commerce demand amid the pandemic.
