Loop Capital analyst Jeffrey Kauffman kept his Buy rating and $42 price target on Werner, also raising his FY19 EPS view by 5c to $2.80 and FY20 by 6c to 2.96. The analyst is positive on the company's upcoming Q4 results based on the "solid truck volumes and lower-than-expected fuel prices" based on his channel checks and management discussions which, he says, also helped him predict a strong quarter in Q3. Kauffman sees Werner as one of his "better ideas in the trucking space" given its 11.4-times forward earnings multiple.
