Ryder System (R) Shares Down 19% in a Month: Here's Why
Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of Ryder System (R - Free Report) have lost 19.3% compared with the industry's 0.6% decline in the past month. The stock underperformed the industry primarily due to weak used vehicle sales. Soft freight conditions have mainly lowered used vehicle sales.
Let’s take a look at the factors that are responsible for the dismal price performance.
Ryder is plagued by below-par used vehicle sales thanks to low pricing and increased wholesaling activity. Weak freight conditions led to this downside. Moreover, bleak freight scenario is expected to persist at least until the second half of the year.
Ryder expects revenues in the Dedicated Transportation Solutions segment to drop 1% in 2020 due to reduced sales activity and fewer large deals signed in the latter half of 2019.The downturn in the Supply Chain Solutions unit due to loss of business is another concern. Notably, revenues in the segment slid 3% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The adversity is anticipated to continue through the middle of 2020.
Moreover, with Ryder investing substantially in its contractual lease fleet, capital expenditures are increasing, thereby hurting the bottom line. High debt levels further add to its woes.
Negative Estimate Revisions & Weak Momentum Score
The negativity surrounding the stock is evident from the Zacks Consensus Estimate for current year earnings being revised downward by 29.8% in the past 60 days to $1.77.
The company’s Momentum Score of F further highlights its short-term unattractiveness.
Additionally, Ryder carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Shares of Delta , Ryanair and Azul have rallied more than 6%, 5% and 17%, respectively, in a year.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
