Earlier today, one of those Fools, TMFTailwind, succinctly summed up the Expeditors bull case for our community:
Similar to CH Robinson, EXPD is another [third-party logistics] carrier that is poised to outperform.
- Asset-light business with no debt and plenty of cash
-Long-term network effect that is valuable to customers
-ROIC consistently greater than 20%
-Dividend that is up 75% in four yearsEXPD has lagged the market for the past two years, which (to me, at least) means that now is the time to buy. Its current valuation is a great entry point -- EXPD's P/E and P/B ratios are the lowest that they've been in ten years.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Expeditors may not be your top choice.
